The United States and its allies are winning some battles in the terrorism war but may be losing the broader struggle against Islamic extremism that is terrorism's source,

That is because you dolts in the administration won't recognize radical islam as the problem. We are certain to loose unless this "religion of peace" BS stops.

Precisely, and well said.

This is a war for keeps, society vs. barbarism, the rational mind (excluding most members of gov'ts) vs. those who slaughter innocents from irrationality, consensus (even one ill-defined) vs. outright thuggery.

Or, am I deluded, and it's just a matter of the difference of degree and immediacy of power that both the one-worlders and the jihadi a$$holes wish to exercise over the rest of us?

Hmmmmm.......<,,,thinking about this...>
