WAR THEORY 101

The question among Westerners with the keen sense of what's happening in the world today, "Why don't the democracies stop pandering to the Muslims and start taking corrective measures? There is little doubt that if the Western societies chose to confront Islam on Islam’s terms, the conflict would be over in a very short order."

And most of those same folks agree that this global conflagration would be over in short order, but not until the West returns to logic and begins fighting to win for the sake of its own survival as it did with Germany and Japan in WWII, and quit fighting to enforce a superficial peace mandated by the U.N, in Korea, Vietnam, Bosnia, Kuwait, Somalia...

War is actually understood and is not some mysterious creature open for daft speculation. Unless one completely destroys the aggressive population's will to continue the fight, one cannot achieve peace. And once victory is achieved, and and the vanquished is allowed to re-establish a government, one does not let them incorporate the reason for the war into their "new" constitution. In Germany and Japan, the Allies told the defeated what could and could not go into their new constitutions. This meant Naziism and Shintoism, respectively. Yet in Afghanistan and Iraq, the US has allowed these weak governments to base their constitutions on Sharia which is what caused the problem in the first place.

This flaw in war science is why the US hasn't "won" in the past 60 years.
