By "we," I take it you are identifying with the Islamists. You've described
the Islamist philosophy pretty well. That's why such people as David
Selbourne and Kenneth Timmerman say we are losing.

No question about it, we should learn from Genghis Khan and Tamerlane.
If there is a town or city where our troops or allies are attacked,
that town or city disappears. Or better yet, we use a neutron bomb,
kill everything living and leave the structures standing, ready for
expropriation. We'll show Genghis a thing or two.
We will build a world of perfect order, managed by fear, with high
tech surveillance that will have old Felix Dzherzinsky turning green
with envy in his grave. Hobbes will give us a thumbs up. The dream
that was America will be another utopian scheme in the dustbin of
history.
Sounds good, doesn't it?
John
