Brilliant Foreign Policy Plan

Here is my foreign policy plan. Pick a country whose population has three distinct but cohesive groups. Invade it. Provide weapons and money to all sides. Incite a civil war between all three sides, or at least encourage them to hold onto their grievances. Then station a big chunk of your army in the crossfire between these three hostile groups.

Now start whining that a neighboring country, that is not doing any of this but is on good diplomatic terms with the government of the invaded country, is "interfering" in it. Threaten to attack the "interfering" country.

Finally, engage in the crudest attacks on those who disagree with this brilliant policy, and accuse them of wanting to surrender.

And secretary rice will play the piano while Baghdad burns.
