I disagree. In fact, we - the United States - have a template in our own history as the pacification of a nation. Our dealings with the American Indians. It took decades and will but it was done.

I am not saying that it was the right thing to do against the American Indians but it is a template. Concerning the Muslims - hunt them down. Disperse the tribes. Put them on reservations. Teach them English. And - this is the big thing - constantly introduce them to new ideas and new religions. Bombard them constantly with Chrisiianity, Bhuddism, Shinto, etc. Make them see that there are other viewpoints that do not promote forcible conversion and/or death.

But all this requires a will and the ability to explain to the American public what we want to achieve. And we are sorely lacking in both since Ronald Reagan left office.
