THE RECIPE FOR WORLD PEACE

Two latkas,

half-baked.

Nah, I'm just joshin'. But seriously, I think I figured out how to achieve world peace. And it's too bad I'm not the one in power, because it's not even that complicated. Follow me, here:

(NOTE: I am being facetious)

It's been agreed upon by most people I've talked to and heard about that the only way for everyone on earth to get along with each other is if a threat was posed to the planet by, let's just say it now, ALIENS.

Now, if aliens were to actually attack us, that would be a very dangerous situation which would most likely result in at least as much destruction as we've inflicted on each other for centuries, if not, more. However, say the government weren't honest (cough, cough), and they lied to everyone. Let's say they just pretended like aliens wanted to wage war against us in order to sap our planet of its resources, resulting in the end of the human race. Wouldn't everyone put aside their differences in the time being in order to try and win the fight against the aliens??

Now, once this is announced, it will also surface that a secret league of NASA had been preparing for this exact possibility, and that they, in cahoots with a 'weapons' company have been devising the perfect weapons to defeat the aliens with as little casualty count as possible. They have invented a controlling device for battle aircrafts thousands of miles out into space.

Essentially, it would look like a giant booth video arcade game, and it would actually be just that, but they would convince the public and army fighters that the technology was all real. Now not only would there be no need to back up this huge lie with some casualties, but also millions of people who were addicted to video games can be social and have a sense of purpose, not to mention a JOB.

Am I crazy to think that if engineered properly this could work?

DUN DUN DUUUUN...
