How do you make war on an idea? How do you win a war against those with that idea? And if you do defeat them militarily how do you correct the idea?

McArthur and Patton knew how to do it.

'Course, Islamists are less reasonable than Nazis, Fascists or Japanese militarists...

There may be some history of the Spanish conquest of civilizations in Central and South America that could shed some light on that.

I think our choices here are mass slaughter, or mass conversion to Christ.

The civil authorities have a responsibility to implement the former, if there's to be any defense of freedom at all.

The people of GOD have a responsibility to implement the latter.

There really is no other option that I'm aware of.

Ummmm. Can't seem to think of a war that was not about an idea.
