It is impossible to have a "clash of civilizations" when only one party is civilized.
You've made an excellent point with this statement.
Presidio9,
Thanks for posting this article. We all need to read this one to understand our enemy more thoroughly. Ultimately, the only solution to our problems with the Muslim terrorists will be to defeat them so thoroughly that none are left or their surviving leaders surrender. While the notion of reaching an understanding may appeal to people who aren't paying attention, the truth is that we need a victory and not a negotiated truce.
