I think it's all too obvious to say that America can't defeat it or even legitimize attempts to do so under its moral ideology. On the other hand, containing it is a more realistic goal, and something that could be done - not with troops, perhaps, but with realistic policies nonetheless. You've learned to live with a billion communists by adapting a pragmatic approach to them and pressuring them where needed; perhaps likewise, if it's recognized as a similarly-conflicting ideology, you can live with a billion Muslims too.

Because of that kind of reasonable thinking about the current situation, we currently get overrun. Islam is not communism. Islam is not the Cold War.You cannot tame Islam. As long as it is there, it will keep coming again and again and again, until it all is it's own. We are braking. We give ground. We have run out of time. We are loosing. We are the prey. And you continue to philosophize, like so many others. Alea jacta est. It's hopeless, then.
