I fear you're right.
Rushmore, then you also understand the risks associated with telegraphing of intentions.
Islam is a hydra - an octopus. That's far more dangerous than Nazi Germany was. German troops wore uniforms. When we got Hitler to commit suicide, that ended the menace. When we occupied Germany and Japan - that ended it.
None of those parameters apply in this case. In this case there is no one country, no one person to overcome.
Islam is not a one time aberation that Nazism was - Islamic fanaticism/militarism is a historical fact going back for centuries to its very birth. It will not end with the occupation of a country or two or killing a leader here and there.
Though I don't believe we can stop them for long - we can slow them down. To do that we have to obliterate the head of the octopus where it now resides - which a this time is Iran. Lopping off a tendril (foot or arm) here and there won't do it.
They've taken over Somalia just in the last few days. So what? Well, they now have a training camp base again. They are killing Christians and others all through Africa.
There are over a billion moslems in the world - if only 1% are terrorists - that's a huge number.
We can't run a war of attrition - we lose that. We can only slow them down if we obliterate the head.
But, we won't - you know it and I know it. Our grandchildren may be facing Mecca five times a day because we have lost our will to survive. A society that loses its will to survive - is unwilling to do whatever it takes to survive, according to nature's rules - dies. With eyes wide open.
