I starts by first learning the basic facts. The expression goes something like "Know thy enemy as thy know yourself". And so we start with the enemy. You. You have extremist viewpoints based in a political agenda; not based in reality, history, or knowledge. Your viewpoints are exactly what got us into Vietnam and into Iraq. Your viewpoints blindly assume "they are bigoted fanatics" - and without one shred of evidence.
Therein lies the problem. We had to sacrifice 50,000 Americans to learn those lessons. And then you would dishonor them by not even learning those painful lessons? Instead you would hype militaristic rhetoric like a mental midget president? Did you not learn anything in the military. Oh. I forgot. You did not even attend the war college. Somehow you just know, anyway, that they are bigoted fanatics. Why? Rush Limbaugh told you.
Please learn something here. Learn the real meaning of "We have met the enemy and he is us." Somehow these lessons of history repeatedly escape Urbane Guerrilla.
