Japan worked because we crushed their cultural illusions with two atomic bombs, defeated their emporer and bent him to our will, and put on an overwhelming display of conventional might on VJ Day.
The Japanese who mattered knew that resistance was not only futile but would be fatal. A defeat of corresponding proportions will be necessary to bring reason to the islamic backwaters.
A remarkable number of people seem to come up with the idea that we must take option 3, kill them all.
I have little objection to killing enough Muslim leaders to induce them to change their minds about continuing this war, and none at all about killing all the Islamists.
But I'm not up for killing "all Muslims." 1. It isn't necessary. 2. It would be wrong.
