We waged total war on Germany and Japan, but we never had a policy of trying to kill all Germans and Japanese. We fought their governments, and when they were destroyed the war was over.

This war is a lot more difficult, as there is no government to target. But I don't think I'll ever be ready for total war that has the killing of over 1B people as its objective. There's no question we have the ability to do it. I'm just not sure that I want to support or remain a part of the society that would do such a thing.

It's either them or us. I vote for us to survive.

There's no way for democracy and islam to co-exist - they are fundementally unable to exist within one another. It truly is them or us.

If the analogy holds, then to "wage war on Islam" in the sense that we waged war on Germany and Japan in WWII, then the legitimate military targets of this war would not be Muslims per se, but rather the institutions of Islamic government: Mosques, Madrassas, and the Islamic clerical establishment. Let firebrand Imams understand that they incendiary rhetoric will be swiftly followed by a very real incendiary response and the tone will quickly change. It's one thing to exhort others to "martyrdom", quite another to find oneself on the front lines of a real war.

Its not necessary to eliminate a billion people. Just all the Imams. Kill the head and the body dies.
