islamic might will always give them a reason to aspire for power. we have to address this might by breaking them up
into small states.
The threat from these states can decisively addressed only when we first dismantle their nukes and then break them
up into numerous small states the size of qatar.
A WMD state can be addressed if we can get their nukes on the ground, which is possible if we couple our airpower
with an element of surprise.
Surprise is easy to attain with the range the US military has, our stealth technology and the fact that they don't have long range early warning systems. We would also have to keep all muslims and people from the region out to prevent leaks.
However we shouldn't delay it any further. It becomes difficult as they stockpile and add missiles to their fleet.
It's more than just the ruling thugs.
The problems goes down to the very society in each case.
islam isn't like communism. Whereas communism and nazi ideology were systems enforced by the state
islam is an ideology that is preached from parent to child and forced upon the state by the populace.
Most islamic states can't enforce measures against the islamic sentiment, because the islamic sentiment enjoys
popular support in these countries.
Iran might have a few reformists, but for the mullahs to be in power, they'd have to have support amongst the masses or else they would have been toppled.
pakistan has taliban allies running 2 out of its 4 provinces. While the muslim league, another creation of the same
intelligence that created al qaeda andthe taliban forms their central govt. The muslim league together with more radical
islamic parties should account for more than 60% of the paki vote.
the saudi monarchy again cannot displease the wahhabi majority.
In such a case, a change of govt is usually just cosmetic. It never addresses the problem, instead just buys it time.
to address these countries they have to be broken up into small states, that emphasize ethnicities over the islamic
sentiment.
But their WMD might has to be dismantled first.
They then have to be broken up into numerous small states to replace the islamic sentiment with ethnic hostility so that we get allies like the kurds.
However some sects like the wahhabis, the shiites and the pashtuns are deeply islamic and have to be incorporated into majorities hostile to them.
Instead of dividing islamic countries along religious lines, the effort should be divide them along ethnic lines to curb the islamic sentiment.
