You actually have it right. Only tactical nukes will get the attention of Islam. There is no room for playing nice if you want progress. Iraq will devolve as all Islamic regimes eventually do. The war is / was lost when the Afghans started talking about including a moderate Taliban in their government. Frankly, these people do not seem to want to be free. I think Obama will sell out the troops anyway. Lets get out since we have already telegraphed our “can’t we all just get along foreign policy”. I don’t see a positive end game with Obama at the controls.
And only Pearl HArbor 'got the attention' of the USoA.
Do you REALLY want ALL of the Muslims in the world after your case instead of just the extreme militants we got now?
Oh?
I'd almost venture to say that they are more 'free' than the average U.S. citizen, whose overlapping layers of Government have piled law after law after law upon us until we are so bogged down now that hardly anything can be accomplished.
