Foreign countries see the United States as the Big Bad Wolf. And therefore, countries like Iran and terrorist groups like Al Qaeda take a chance to fight us.
We need to be seen more as pansies. Not tough. So I propose that a small percent on everyone's tax return be spent on My Little Pony toys. Nothing says girly or feminine like My Little Pony. And when the world sees that each household in the U.S. owns one or more of those toys. They will look the other way. Keeping us safe.
