Strength through superior firepower is all they understand..

Did you read the article about the Moros that was posted here a few weeks back? The muslims are not a simple people to deal with, and they don't respect superior firepower.

In the Phillipines, the US to muslim kill ratio was hundreds to 1, as it was in both gulf wars. Yet they kept coming again and again, using stupid tactics, until they were all dead. At least until the US decided they'd had enough of killing muslims and moved out.

They do not respect superior firepower. They only stop trying to kill you when you kill them.

They won't try to live in peace until we've completely crushed them and imposed a new culture.

I'm not trying to refute your points, just to intensify them.

I'm not sure if 21st Century America has the stomach for "completely crushing" them. The US of the 1800's would have treated the Islamic world the same way they treated the Indians, but the US is different now.

We get a few more terrorist attacks, though, and the US may start to revert to its roots...

There was an excellent article posted here about 2 - 3 months ago describing how large percentage(maybe up to 20%) of Muslims operated on a fantasy basis. The author went to great lengths to develop his thesis. Made sense to me. In summary, they were born and raised in La La land, and they will die there too. No amount of reason will convert them. Either we, or the rational Muslims will have to take em' out.

BTW, fantasy land is not confined to Muslims, we got plenty in this country too. You know - - Democrats.
