But what SHOULD (but obviously doesn't) concern you is paying Islamo-Fascist governments $200/barrel for the oil they seek to control. Exactly what do you think those Jihadist governments would do with this newly found wealth?

We can't make the people in the Middle East do what we want them to do by force. The British tried and failed. The Soviets tried it and failed. We tried it and failed.

The only thing we can do is to try to set an example and they would have to want to be like us.

How could Jihadist ever get their kids to memorize th Koran when they have seen Disneyland and Harvard University on the Internet.

You could go to any school in Shanghai or Beijing and ask the kids if they want to go Disneyland or to attend Harvard University and you would get a sense as to what direction the young people would turn to if they had a choice.

We don't have to force people to do anything they don't want to do. We just have to set the example and let their kids choose.

The Jihadists do not have a chance. They have no future.
