I mean go over there and kick a little ass Yankee-style. Puking on their Prime Minister on national TV is all fine and good, and I'm all for it, but what's the use of being the most powerful nation in the world if we let these geeks actually get away with using only their own products. If they won't buy our cars, we take over their country. Easy, right? The thing of it is, we have to do it right. I have a plan that will not only put those over-productive, far-too-efficient losers in their place, but help make our country a better place at the same time. First, we round. up all the Japanese, bring them over here and put them to work running OUR businesses. That way, not only will buying American be the patriotic thing to do -it will be the ONLY thing to do. The whole world will come to us to trade. We'd have a corne r on the car market, the electronics market, the sushi market - we'd own everything. However, that would not solve the many social problems that we have, and that is where the second part of my plan comes into play. You see, once we bring the Japanese over here, we'll have a whole empty island to play with. Obviously, with the arrival of our new countrymen, we'll have to boot some people out to make room, so here is what I'm suggesting: we deport all the different groups that are so MISERABLE in this country.
