Yeah, we can really win hearts and minds, which all the Neo Isolationist are claiming we are losing, by treating all Muslims as Terrorists.
Perhaps the usual screamers MIGHT want to consider the vast majority of the troops fighting and dying on OUR side ARE Muslims.
WAY past time the Alway Angry wing of "Conservatives" get a grip on the fundamental difference between Counter Insurgency and Total War.

"I admire VDH, but he is wrong on this one. We need more Saudis to be exposed to Western values and ideas."
There in lies the problem. All they are "exposed" too is leftist anti-American bullshit on these college campuses!

You've really gone around the bend. Now you're an Islamo-Facist apologist.

"Many Americans are not convinced that our magnanimity with the Islamic world wins praise as liberality, rather than earning contempt for our perceived weakness. "
Exactly. While the left claims to be multicultural, in reality they fail to respect this basic cultural difference.

"Why is America so much richer and stronger than the Arab world, when it is clearly more decadent and godless?"
Besides the conspiracies which VDH lists as typical answers to this question, I think there is another core belief in the muslim world which extremists use as a recruitment tool; that the muslim world has gotten away from following true islam (read: extreme, fundamentalist, sharia-law, cover-all-women-in-burkas type of islam) and therefore the muslim world has seen a great decline in prosperity and strength.
