No she doesn't...
She points out is that Japan was not part of that unmoveable "mountain" that is Islam. So they had the possiblity to change, and they did.

That's exactly what I'm talking about, this is a really intellectually empty argument. The Japanese were every bit as fanatic and bend on destruction as the Islamicist today, because the true cause of such fantaticism is a flaw in human nature. Our nature hasn't change, it's same enemy, not some new enemy. It can be defeated in the same way we defeated the other enemies.

I"t is naive to think that 1400 years of an oppressive, intolerant religious tradition called Islam will be changed over night."

I think I distinctively said it will not happen over night. But 1,400 years is meaningless. Since nobody actually lives 1,400 years. All it takes is one generation to change a culture.

All it takes is one generation to change a culture.

In the case of Japan, it took utter devastation, unconditional surrender, and a square one rebuilding and redesigning of their culture under occupation. Islam will require at least that.
Are we prepared to exact the price?

All it takes is one generation to change a culture.

Sorry, I disagree emphatically. One may coerce better behavior from a culture promptly but the culture as a whole could take nearly as long to completely change as it did to evolve in the first place. There are examples of this everywhere around us.
