Japanese had similarly been indoctrinated. They believed they were to be the dominant people in the future as the radical Moslems believe today.
When the Japanese were defeated in WWII they were certain they were defeated. They could no longer have any delusions about their status since their country had been razed.
In the same way the radicals in the ME have to know they have been defeated. While I certainly pity the innocents in Lebanon, the Israelis need to make them and all the radicals certain that terrorism leads to utter defeat.
I don't disagree. However, it's not just Lebanon that provides a nest for these vipers. If it is to be done, it can't just be Lebanon and it can't just be the Israelis, it seems to me at least.
I think you are absolutely right about that. The thing is to convince them. This whole thing started when I said we need to be shouting at them all the time that "God is OBVIOUSLY NOT willing" each time they say "Inshallah we will defeat our enemies". We should be saying "If God were willing you would not be living in abject poverty" "If God were willing, you would not be losing every time you attempt to go to war with the west" "What does it take to convince you that GOD IS NOT WILLING!!!!!"
