" Our declaring war wasn't the problem. The failure to actually wage one that involved sacrifice beyond the price of gasoline was the mistake "

Utter nonsense you mean.

Perhaps you two might explain why the bulk of the forces fighting and dying on our side currently are Muslims?

Right now the bulk of the fighting being done is Muslim vrs Muslim. Your dogma would turn all of them into foes. You would repeat the same mistake the Russians made in Afghanistan and the Nazis in Eastern Europe. It demonstrates a complete ignorance of how Counter Insurgency differers fundamentally from Total War. You would have us repeat every mistake made by every Great Power in history trying to respond to a Asymmetrical threat. As a military doctrine for the USA, it would be lunacy.
