"what do you mean?"
As Samuel Huntington wrote in his "Clash", intercivilizational conflicts end either in stalemates [i.e. do not end, but get postponed] or in genocides, in which cases they truly end. On a rare occasion it is possible to transculturate the vanquished, at least to some minor extent [MacArthur 1945], but this has to be done as an absolutely conscious and concentrated effort. Besides, it represents an exception and a luxury - not everyone can be transculturated. For a good example look at the Israeli-Arab conflict. After 60 years of war successes, have the Israelis won? The definition of victory is breaking the enemy's WILL to fight, not the destruction of his means of doing so. And when this will is rooted in the very civilizational identity of the enemy, there are no clean solutions.

I am unwilling to support genocide as the solution to anything, as it includes the slaughter of the innocent alongside the guilty. It inhuman, and it reduces us below the level of any enemy we could hope to vanquish.
