What do you call the state propaganda machines, madrassahs, and mosques, and radical clerics all spewing their hate propaganda? Don't you agree that when people grow up with hate, they find it difficult to reverse course and find a way out?

Look what happened in the U.S. You couldn't teach the South that slavery was wrong. We had to reconquer the South and force them to end slavery. Then the next generations to come were taught that slavery was wrong.

Same thing applies in the Middle East. The way to break the cycle is what we are doing now. You plant Democracy in the heart of the Arab world and get the ball rolling, then you adopt new more equitable policies towards Arabs, and then over the next century, you hope to reconcile with future generations and show them that the West isn't so bad after all.

This is the way out. But your method of staying home and doing nothing is a recipe for more of the same that we've had for 50 years.
