You keep mixing apples and oranges, on purpose because you keep doing it.

You will get NO argument from me saying Islam is great. It's telling that you keep skirting the question I asked about an important ally at a critical time. According to you, the WOT should/could be won with no cooperation from nations in that region. Given that, I guess you think the Iraqi troops we are training are doing nothing to fight terror either.

Let me make it simpler: What would YOU do to win the WOT?

Thinking you can reengineer the political culture of the Muslim world is just to be sucked into its internal ethnic civil wars (which is what those Shiite Iraqi soldiers are fighting) and played for a chump every time by the rival factions. None of whom are any 'ally' of yours.

Reagan realized that in Lebanon. The Israelis after a while realized that in Lebanon.

We can't 'win' the WOT without essentially, rewritting the Muslim faith. And that is not something we can do. We can after several generations of decimation impose a peace of exhaustion upon them. But they must themselves accept fear and despair as the condition of their lives.
