[Young Werther]

The concept of historical appreciation has been documented by many of our Presidents going all the way back to the Founding Fathers.

The Caliphate and Jihadist Philospohy was founded approximately ONE THOUSAND YEARS!

before our founding. The strategies required to deal with this Historic Movement are NOT facile, (or easy)!

We brought down the Soviet Union by economic means which pointed to "The Shining City on a Hill", (So oft repeated by Reagan!). Modern Socialism had a 200 year history and while the Soviet Union succumbed their counterparts right here in the USofA still espouse this form of government, (Pelosi, Hillary et al!).

As for the Jihadists and present day Dictators in Venezuela and North Korea alittle force is required.

[Ludicrous]

Ding Ding Ding - we have a winner.

“The Caliphate and Jihadist Philospohy was founded approximately ONE THOUSAND YEARS!”

I was waiting for the C-word (Caliphate) to show up in this thread.
