Radical Islam will be a significant force for some time. It very well may drag our prosperity under.
We should be trying to subvert and weaken it, not to conquer it. We could win this struggle if we made them placid -- give them free TV, not guns. Let them make money, not war.
An aside: After reading a few sections of The Prince, I was thinking that it would be very difficult for the United States to succeed as a conqueror: in order to succeed as a conqueror, you need your citizens to colonize the new land.
Right now, Pakistan, India, and China are very good colonizers. They are exporting people to do hard work in our countries. The United States would have a difficult time colonizing because life in the United States is so good that people will find the better life here than elsewhere.
The only of our people that would want to leave and struggle and colonize someplace else are the Zionist Jews of Israel.
