He is way behind the curve. You obviously didn't read this.

The article you cited did NOTHING to support global imperialism. It merely articulated the implaccable nature of a religious war with which I have no argument. That does not mean that the strategy you propose is either within our capability or that it would work. I prefer to nudge Islam into the inevitable managed implosion.

I read the Wheeler's article when you linked it in your earlier post (to Texaggie) and viewed it as a fundamentally flawed attempt to render a judgement on a religion based on its political uses in a given historical context, and on some historical facts that the tradition got wrong.

My main thesis is that what we have is a civilizational struggle. The necessity of imperialism is a corollary, which, indeed, Louis Rene Beres does not make.

It is true that the warrior Arab civilization is primarily imploding, and the explosions we see are a secondary effect. That is why the victory will be ours even if we do very little; but it is the duty of our government to limit the damage to its geographical origins and accelerate the demolition.
