<Do you really find Communism to be so invincible?>

Under certain situations, yes, they always won. The communists won when:

1. They championed the nationalist cause.
2. They fought on their own home turf, and we couldn't find local proxies.
3. We fought in a nation with a profoundly foreign culture
4. Our response was 100% military.

Islamism will eventually be defeated, just as Communism was. But not using the failed methods of the militarists.
