Middle East Solution

The Solution to all problems in the Middle east is simple and within reach. It is something we all use every day and take for granted - AC.  Look at the pictures and video you see coming from the Middle East, you think they have any form of air conditioning over there? No, they don't. I have never seen a compressor, a central AC vent or even any window units in these countries. They are behaving like its a thousand years ago because they're living like its a thousand years ago!

Think about how upsetting it is when your AC goes out. The heat is stifling, you feel regressed to a time long ago, a time before electricity. Then there's the expense of having the repair man roll up into your driveway and spend an hour fixing it, it's a nightmare, enough to make anyone want to go on a jihad. It angers you and makes you wanna spit. I dare say it makes you want to fight! No AC is a recipe for volatility and aggression! Hence the problem in the Middle East.

Instead of missile batteries and aircraft carriers, we need armies of well equipped AC repairmen and installers. Companies like Carrier, Trane and others would profit enormously from this effort. Imagine fully loaded ships, planes and anti personnel carriers rolling into Egypt, Syria and all the rest of these countries with the sole purpose of cooling off the universal hostility that comes from no AC. These AC troopers would be welcomed and applauded. Millions of new compressors, miles of duct work and tons of freon, piping and gauges would benefit everyone in the Middle East and the American companies that supply them! No power grid, no problem, we use solar for each unit or combine solar with the power they already have. Its a win win with no down side. The cost of one cruise missile is $1 million dollars and that doesn't include the delivery systems, launching and transport to the launch site.  We could air condition the entire Middle East, profit enormously from government contracts with these countries and probably eliminate over half of the violence over there. The US govt. could fund this effort for a fraction of any missile launch or war and the receiving countries could give what they can thereby reducing the cost to us even further.

This is a viable solution to the crashing petro dollar and pending economic implosion. Every company even remotely related to this effort would benefit enormously. The unemployment rate in the US would fall and goods and services produced here would skyrocket. When the Middle East is air conditioned, we could move on to other areas of the world that could benefit from reduced indoor temperatures and repeat the process. Instead of policing the world, we need to AC the world and maybe then we'll all be able to just get along.
