Terrorists abroad have spent decades preparing for war against the west, studying American culture, identifying all of the cracks in the mortar, all of the weak links in our chain of command and the soft spots in our defenses that make the worlds last remaining super-power a vulnerable target for any terrorists willing to die for the cause.
In retrospect, America's weaknesses were more obvious to others than most Americans thought.

What must change to survive such an enemy?

But they all have one characteristic in common .... they are all Muslims.
One day our weakness will be traced back to our loss of faith as a nation. While we bussied ourselves with dismantling mangers during Christianity's second most holy day, and outlawing every other public display of Christianity, and were reveling in sexual promiscuity and vice of every kind, and passing laws to protect this vice under the pretense of "rights", the muslims were still busy bowing to their 'god', and their koranic hatred for Christians, Jews and 'infidels' festered. Their religion provides for them a great source of energy and fuel to stoke their Christian/Jew/infidel hating traditions, while Western faith turned from Christ to Darwinsm, secularism, politics, drugs and sex; in other words, 'humanism'. Hence, we have developed a spiritual blindness that prevents us from seeing the depth and breadth of the evils and dangers of islam. When God decreases evil increases, so we will never defeat islam without God and our Faith.
We think that technology will conquer them, or perhaps a smooth 'dailogue' with their evil leaders, along with concessions, will sooth their hatred and allow them to peacefully coexist with us. Of course none of this will work. Evil is not appeased. Until the West has its spiritual eyes open again, through a conversion back to Jesus Christ and the Christian faith, I believe there will remain in our societies a deadly inability to even see the face of our enemy, let alone defeat him. The face of islam is the face of Lucifer, who loves to mock the true God by taking the religion He founded and inverting it, and making it his own.
You wouldn't have to replace Islam with Christianity, if they were crushed and felt that Allah would not protect them.
They would abandon it themselves.
I think we will - however it's going to take a Great Awakening. There is, unfortunately one way for that to happen - and that is another horrific attack. It's coming and when it does, I think most liberals will throw away their flimsy liberal "convictions" and become rabid hawks. They will play the "hawkier than thou" role. Most of their liberal "convictions" are not convictions at all - but mere hot air blather.
Read the book "Do As I Say" and you will realize that most liberals do not really believe what they spout.
A murderous attack on America will send those phony convictions to the trash heap and these same liberals will be screaming for muslim blood.
At least I hope so.
While we do need to have the will to win to be able to prevail, we also need the willpower to not become another butchering country that kills indiscriminately.
They would not likely abandon their religion, even if crushed. You do not understand the abject fatalism of the mussulmans. They will go inert and lethargic for a time, perhaps a generation, perhaps several, but they will not give up their religion just because they failed to conquer. And a new Fever will eventually sweep through them again and the cycle will peak once again with death with destruction throughout the world. This is the history and future of Islam.
And the Left thinks this isn't a war against Evil.
A murderous attack... like 9-11?
And the MSM is quite happy to do their part to destroy our morale for the enemy.
A short exercise in fatuosity or a lack of acquaintance with Mohammedan history
I'm afraid it could be much, much worse. Maybe not in lives, but in imagery. If they took out the White House, the Capital Building or the Statue of Liberty, I think the liberals would change their tune in a quick hurry. Any of those attacks would be preferable to a dirty bomb in NY or LA that could kill tens of thousands.
I cannot see the liberal leopard changing its spots until something like that happens. I wish I could believe otherwise - but reality is reality.
Even 'forced' Christianity wouldn't do it if they really believe that in the end Allah will save them.
The exercise would be one of futility.
Just as most Christians can't be forced to be muslims. Most muslims will not be forced to be Christians.
It's better to let them stay bewildered and lost for as many generations as necessary then to create an even greater hatred of Christians, which would give them a stronger reason to hold to their faith and allow them to recover sooner.
As you say, the devastation must monumental and complete in order for them to even question Allah and his teachings.
Now you see what we're up against here at home. I fear for my children and grandchildren's future; whatever comes to pass they certainly won't enjoy the security and prosperity that you and I have known in our lifetimes.
Because txrangerette wants to follow the tenets of true Christianity, it means that she doesn't understand 'even a little bit the threat' of Islam.
I've seen a whole lot of contorted thinking around here, but that's in the top ten for absurdity....
The 19th Amendment.
Did you miss the part where 3,000 Americans were murdered by Muslims and the liberals said it was America's fault?
an 'A-bomb Truman' is needed; we need leadership which doesn't cave to liberal's ideas for prosecution of war to bring the diaperheads to their knees-FAST. loosin masses of civilians will wake up those "moderate" elements to kill their own vermin.
And that would especially be true when you attack her understanding of Christianity, which is a whole lot deeper and truer than anyone else's I've seen on this thread.
