They are ignorant alright, but they are much more than just that, they are evil. They are as evil as Cain, jealous of their place with God, unable to accept as we do that Jews are the chosen people, and it would not suprise me if they were his decendents. They are as jealous and full of hate as Ismael and his egyptian mother who they do claim.
Here is what God says of them Genesis 16:12 "and he will be a wild donkey of a man, His hand will be against everyone, and everyones hand will be against him, and he will live to the east of all his brothers". To live to the east is to be an extremist. I think this discription covers them pretty well.
The only thing that is going to sit them back on their haunches, and give them pause, is to bomb Mecca, and destroy their holy places. Power is all they understand and brutality, if they see their holy places leveled, they will give a second thought as to their timing, that this might not be the time to fulfill the Koran.
Not really into the bible much, I prefer books on the military.
Lets answer your points.
re : Tony come on, we are tired of the liberal mantra, throw money at it.
Sorry we are not discussing the welfare state here.
After the Second World War, Europe was exhausted there was nothing standing between the Soviet Army and the channel except an exhausted Britain, already stretched fighting a communist take over in Greece.
Your President came to the rescue with the Marshall plan, this aid rebuilt Europe and stopped the Soviet Advance dead in Europe, without it the Soviet empire would of Africa and the Middle east would of followed.
The world could of looked very differently then.
Rebuilding a countries infrastructure and helping them back on there feet seems a wise investment to me, after all once they are up and running they like Europe and parts of Asia which America helped rebuild become more markets for American goods.

Well Hitler and Stalin would agree with you, although even though the Germans were extremely brutal in there anti Partisan operations throughout Europe during the last war, and I mean extremely brutal, wiping out whole population centres for any anti German activity, resistance to them grew and grew, brutality is always met by more brutality.
And no matter how much you may wish it I don’t think you will get the Western Military to behave like Communists or Nazis. For a start when I die I want to have a clean a slate as possible, and so do many others.
We will win this war, and we will win it while still staying decent human beings, if we become like the enemy then what is the choice for those on the other side who want to escape the yoke of oppression cast upon them by the dictators who call them self’s leaders.

That's because if the average camel-jockey were sent to the US to do havoc, as soon as he got off the plane, he would succumb to the Western Decadance....
Semper Decadent
