The murders at the U.S. embassy in Libya and the rioting in various Muslim countries is another serious challenge to our foreign policy in those countries. Several of these countries, Egypt for example, have had a long acceptance of generous foreign aid programs as well as support for the new changes from the former corrupt cruelties of the leaders such as Colonel Kaddafi and Mubarak. I suggest an experiment to have a sampling of the political and religious values of those that participate and quietly support the anger against the U.S. and western countries that have drawn such outbreaks of rioting and killings. Denmark is one example of such rage due to the drawings of the prophet.

I suggest landing a fleet of large-capacity airplanes in those countries immediately after the riots with an offer of entry to the U.S. with all the inducements of welfare, housing, education and employment that are the legal rights to immigrants. My expectation is that most of the rioters and sympathizers of Islamic rage would also riot to board the planes to this country. It would be an interesting experiment to assess whether our enemies would succumb to the bribes listed and then reject their anger and hatreds or quietly retain them below the surface.
