Japan in 1941 had a living GOD named Hirohito. The Japanese people were not allowed to look on the living god that ruled them. Those under him told teh people that if they gave thier life in his service they had an instant ticket to heaven. Thus the kamikazi were pilots that flew a bomb with wings and an engine into the side of our ships. They got instant death and thought they were getting instant heaven.

We defeated Japan and rules the nation under military law fow only a few years. General McArthur ruled Japan with an iron had. He in effect dictated their constitution.

Hirohito was made to plege aliegence to General McArthur. The people were forced to look at him bowing down to McArthur. We took a waring nation and made it a peaceful nation in a few short years. The effects have lasted 50 years.

It took us just 3 years to change Japanese society after the war. We can do it again.

Japan is 90 million people in an area the size of Japan.

You are talking about 1-1.5 BILLION people scattered over 1/3 the land mass of the planet with another 2.5 BILLION people, armed with nuclear weapons, who won't be enamoured with the idea.

Fat chance.

General McArthur

Absolutely. The good general is the model to follow in this war. The numerical population argument doesn't stand because (1) we have the military technology that is in proportion to what militant Islam has is also an order of magnitude stronger; and (2) militant Islam is only a fraction of the Muslim world, that is lucky to control one country -- Afghanistan and one junkyard next to Jerusalem, which is far less that all these billions and billions Carry_Okie is talking about in #17.
