I tend to agree with you, but in order to kill the bad Muslims, like the bad German, we need to kill civilians. This is why I have been talking about Hobbs, and the leviathan.
Most civilian Germans we killed were killed because we didn’t have the types of precision weapons available to destroy the factories and other sinew of Hitler’s war machine. I don’t know of any historian today who believes that the air war against German civilians hastened the wars end. Hitler’s air war against England didn’t terrorize or stop the Brits. The Allied air war targeting German civilians did not win the war. The Allies and the Soviets ground down Hitler’s army and killed his soldiers. That’s how we won.
