In a war against such killers, it is the proverbial "Them or Us." Islamic fascists are not crazy — however crazy they sound — but evil, as their evil work confirms. We do not need more lectures about the impossibility of winning a postmodern conflict, about al Qaeda's not following the laws of Clausewitz or being immune to our way of war. In fact, we can and have defeated them. Keep doing that and the "hearts and minds" of others in the region, whom we are already helping, will mysteriously prove more open to dialogue.
You'd rather try to destroy the hearts and minds of others in the region, proving the Islamic extremists correct, and drive them into al Qaeda's army.
You're probably a Muslim yourself. I hope so, because if you're not, you're a lower sub-human than they are. Do you people call them "Dhimis"? Is that the right word?
Made any babies drink urine this week? Or do you content yourself by shilling for them at every opportunity?
