and it's how you're describing the Muslims of the world here, the various Star Trek captains never had much success just flying in and blasting. All of their victories were a result of infecting the collective with strains of thought that involved thinking counter to their philosophy.
If your message is "resistance is futile" and every attempt by people to defeat you through violent means ends up just growing your cause, it sure seems to be a reinforcement of exactly what you are complaining about.
Show me just one instance where anything we've done through the force of might in this current battle has actually decreased the number of overall combatants over the ensuing generations. Oh, and the rules for this game don't allow statistics where short dips in violence occur when areas become completely ethnically cleansed or the combatants are temporarily put on the payroll. We're talking the big picture here. You show me how the current policy of entering Mideastern lands, blowing shit up and scattering body parts has lessened the hatred of the West by these extremists, changed their tactics, or decreased their overall numbers.
Oh and Lee, pin this down completely for me here. If you believe that Islam is such a threat to our way of life, then what's your solution? Just blow them up until they're all gone? Wipe out every single one of them? What's the plan you have? You have all these words of condemnation towards their way of life but you sure seem unprepared to tell us that next step.
Come on Lee. Show us to the dark side.
