Welcome to Free Republic.

You must remember this, method cannot defeat evil; nice cannot defeat evil; only GOOD can defeat evil.

Your heart is in the right place, but your premises are flawed. Nevertheless, Islamofacism will be defeated, victory is the only option, victory at all cost, and whatever else our beloved Churchill said.

But that is precisely the problem; good alone cannot defeat evil. Moral superiority, etc., notwithstanding, God is with the army with the largest battalions. I don't see how anyone could think otherwise -- indeed, some of our best tragedies concern the defeat and destruction of noble men who lack the means to put their virtue into action.
