Consider Raytheon. Raytheon suffereth not, nor does it weep. It's sheafs lie in the fields in multitudes And it bringeth forth abundance. Beat thy plowshares into swords And make thy words golden That all shall hear them. When the horn of Yaweh blows Even the mighty shall run. As long as GPS is in the heavens And Tomahawks fly like Arrows The stars will protect us, And though some of our numbers will fall, surely the enemy will fail as he cannot prevail in the face of multitudes.

You don't have to worry about war being religious. Many were. The outcome is the same. There are no permanent winner or losers. The cause is instructive, but when you are fighting it, it is immaterial. You use guns, bullets and propaganda. The underpinnings of the focus of the war are hid and driven in much the same way philosophically on both sides. To make Jihad terminology special, or to give it too much credence(nobody in the ME does) is to make too much of the enemy; gives him an advantage. I can make Kentucky bible belt Americanism much more narrow minded, protected and hard to change than Moslem extremism anyday. You aren't going to convert anybody. The first thing you have to see is, who is going to win in the first place? Start with that. The rest is easy. At first it looks like over the long haul we might lose the war through their numbers; the global change and immigration concept. But who are they competing with? Or-- are we trying to play catch up with them, or they us? It's like tic, tac, toe. Who goes first wins. All we really have to say is, "it's your move." EC<:-}
