And Sharia is quite a burden to put on my future grand-daughters.
This is a different type of conflict than any we had in the previous century. It will not be won exclusively with the military but will require the efforts of the entire American nation (and whatever allies we can gather) for multiple generations. Unlike WWI & WWII, this is a culture war, not a power struggle between competing governmental systems. Cultures take much longer to change than governments (look at Russia or Georgia). Unless the two cultures can develop mutual acceptance (which Islam does not accept in the Koran - they do not acknowledge you have the right to go to hell), one will surely be a lost civilization. Winston Churchhill may have been a lonely voice in the wilderness, but the weight of his ideas would have vanished had Germany been victorious. Great ideas die when their proponents die. So it can be with this Great Experiment.
I think our cultural enemies are far more committed to their cause than we are to freedom. We forget the first responsibilty of freedom is to defend it. I don't hold out high hopes.
I'll check in later but, for now, I'm off to work. Take care.
