Nothing in your post acknowledges my statement that the USA can easily switch to a "5% solution" mode in Iraq. Don't tell me a democracy can't do it. In WW II you dropped two nuclear bombs on Japan, you reduced many German cities to piles of rubble and dust. I don't understand why you would address a Western audience to resolve the "bad" conduct of a Islamist radical. It helps to increase the public pressure to change the situation. Assuming you have in fact identified a mosque intended to be used for that purpose. Domestically this is easy. But you can certainly force a person, nation, people or religion to stop blowing up your stuff. You can't stop al Qaeda unless you manage to establish some kind of draconian world government. For the next decades terror will be part of our life.
