You are completely twisted backwards. The Muslims are the ones who think might makes right. That is what suicide bombing is all about. It's exercising power to induce terror among defenseless citizens. Unfortunately, they are doing it to the citizens of the most powerful countries in the world. So these countries have the ability, power, and inclination to defend themselves. At first, most of the world, if not the U.S., was inclined towards moderation in our actions towards Muslims. But increasingly, the world is deciding that the only way to help Muslims understand that suicide bombing won't be tolerated is to get tough as hell. The thing about it is that I don't have to convince you of anything. The more the Muslims attack Europe, the more they will find themselves isolated and the more they will find themselves in a tight vise from which they cannot escape. It's horribly ironic. European governments have typically been a political friend to Muslim nations, while American government has been a little more hostile to Muslim governments in general. On the other hand, European civilians have been slow to integrate Muslims and have looked down on them. Whereas Muslims were easily integrated into America's inclusive culture. Now Muslims have attacked both America and Europe and they have alienated any friends they might have. Whoever thinks this is not a war yet or thinks this is not a clash of civilizations is truly living in a cave.
