I think that iron golems should be removed from villages.
THEY WOULD STILL BE IN THE GAME, THEY JUST WOULDN'T SPAWN NATURALLY ANYMORE. THE ONLY WAY TO GET ONE WOULD BE TO BUILD ONE WITH THE IRON BLOCKS AND PUMPKIN. SO PLEASE DON'T REPLY WHINING ABOUT HOW MUCH YOU LOVE IRON GOLEMS.
Anyway, my suggestion is that iron golems stop spawning in villages (they very rarely spawn there anyway) and instead be replaced by soldier villagers. Unlike other villagers, soldier villagers will not retreat to their houses at night. Instead, they patrol the village in troops (similar to zombie sieges) and attack any hostile mob that comes within the village limits. They will not attack a player unless the player provokes a villager (any kind, not just the soldiers), in which case they will all attack the player.
The soldier villagers wear iron armor and carry iron swords (which have a 15% chance of having a random lv. 1-10 enchantment on them) and when they are killed there is a 5% chance of them dropping either their sword or a piece of their armor.
They attack similarly to zombie pigmen (attacking an enemy in numbers) and move 1.5 times the speed of normal villagers.
zombie villagers have free arms maybe it should look like that,
I like better the idea of villager soldiers
I like to think that them having free arms while being a zombie and not while they're normal is a symbolization of their passive nature to aggressive nature.

Support soldier villagers!
I know. But they barely ever spawn in villages anyway, and don't you think soldier villagers make more sense?
It'd make more sense for soilders, but this is minecraft. We throw most sense out the window.
Ha, that's true... yeah I was thinking of barracks too, like a 1-story cobblestone building with 3 or 4 rooms?
Hmm. Didn't think about that. They would just have free arms I guess
Um..look at your arms..
One Minecraft NPC does not simply have free arms
zombie villagers have free arms maybe it should look like that,

English is not my first language, sorry for any spelling and/or grammar mistakes
The Iron Golem spawn rate will be increased in 1.8.
