What really matters is who has the military, economic, and political might to do as they wish.

Indeed... I ABSOLUTELY CONCUR!! (and have stated exactly that)...

History is strewn with examples of where stronger social, economic, and political systems and ideologies subvert and replace the prevailing order... Call it social darwinism, if you will...

The Islamic extremists wish to restore a defective economic and political system by force, since it cannot compete in the marketplace of ideas. They find comfort in the past and cannot deal with change or marginalization of their values (many of which are down-right medieval)...

And this is why I concur with Netanyahu on the perspective of Israel being seen more as a Western cultural threat to the Arab prevailing order, than as a Jewish-Arab conflict.
