No one is more condemning of Islam that I am but only a fool will deny that the war on terrorism (now belatedly coming to be understood to be an existential war against militant Islam) will only be won by rational Muslims defeating the crazed Muslims not for love of Israelis, Americans, Western civilization or even basic human values but for their own survival.
I do not like the odds of making war against 1.6 billion Muslims, especially as a Western society incapable of accepting casualties. Let the Muslims sort each other out. Let us be wise as were the British in India when Clive conquered the subcontinent with about 900 Brits or as wise as Cortez who conquered millions of Mexicans with a few conquistadores and their horses.
Set one tribe against another, use their ideology against them, avoid fighting their war.
