American Thinker: How to Think About the War

Herb Meyer has it right. Unless and until we recognize that Radical Islam wants Western Civilization dead, defeated or destroyed, we are pussyfooting around the issue. We must agree that accommodation is not an option. Radical Islam must be defeated.

The problem is that unlike in WW II and the Cold War, the key leaders are not easily identified. There are many of them and more growing up into the fight every day. Decapitation is difficult. The people in the areas that are being radicalized must ultimately reject Radical Islam. The question is do they, will they? How do you persuade people who think that suicide bombers are glorious martyrs with 70 virgins awaiting them are wrong when Islam can be so easily subverted to promote that?
