I think your analysis is correct. As a Christian nation, we will not be able to step up to the plate against this type of evil. I predict and have predicted that it will be Europe that will have to administer the blow against Islam after we depart the playing field. If we were to "win" (other than local battles) there will of necessity have to be a wider strategic look at the middle east. You cannot have Syria and Iran undermining every effort in Iraq or you have to fold your cards and go home and let the Bathist party regain their lost ground. We simply do not have an educated electorate that can deliver the courage (the votes and the dollars) continuously necessary to turn the middle east around. However, the Germans and the Russians will have no qualms about doing what will be necessary to return Islam back into the 12th century where they feel comfortable. Brutality on a scale uncontemplated by the USA will be necessary to keep civilization from returning to the 12th century with them. I just don't see us doing it. It has always been technology that has fronted Islam successfully, but it has to be wielded by someone willing to use it. Interested in your take on it.

As a Christian nation, we will not be able to step up to the plate against this type of evil. This kind of statement does not follow. There is very little in this country that would indicate we are "Christian" in any way.

Could you, myself, or our nation be convicted of Christianity?
