This idea is an example of what a creative mind can do. Think of the plan 
as Peace Tax. Use that precise phrase and repeat its advantages enough 
times, no matter the challenges, and people will begin to believe it is 
right. Just think, the rest of the world's countries will no longer need to 
spend trillions maintaining their own military forces. We will protect 
them. Trust us, we are the United States of America.

Whoops, I just checked. Most of the world doesn't trust us. Darn.
