Well if we don’t learn some lessons about what makes Islamic society tick, it will be even worse.

So far, the US has done fair with a representative democracy, though the current regime is testing that to its limits and then some. But the US has always had a Judeo-Christian ethic, even if distorted. It has always had an idea of a God whose primary desire is to bless. Once you get a “God” who either doesn’t care or is heavily into damning, the political needs change.

The challenge for us is how to attempt to bless a society that isn’t ready to accept many blessings.

I agree with you. I would say this. You and I, the United States.... we can't bless them. I know you mean God bless them and use us somehow. But, I don't think that is ever going to happen. I mean, bible prophecy would lead us to believe it isn't.

Its a tough deal because the world has gotten small enough that you probably can't just leave them alone to their own demise.

With what I know, and I'm sure that isn't much, I would destroy all of their ability to fund war. I really would. When ISIS takes an area, I would destroy the oil facilities and wells in that area. And, I would tell Iran we'll do the same thing there if need be. And then do it if need be. I think that is where I would start.
