We can't make them change their attitudes, but they can make us change ours. We can't confront them, but they are free to confront us. Why don't you just get yourself a one-way ticket to Baghdad and surrender yourself to the first Jihadi you find?? That is not what I am saying. What I am saying: 1 We can change thier attitude. It is clear that they have nothing to offer their own people. All we have to do is not muddie the waters. Stay out of their way. 2 They have no resources to confront us. They have no bank accounts. They have no government. They have no military that can confront us. We have billions and billions of dollars. We have the mightiest military. We have technology. They operate from caves. We control the airspace (including outer space). We control the oceans (we have six or seven aircraft carrier groups). Jesus Christ, no matter what you may think, taught us the concept of love. That has stood the test of time. That is not going away. Give me the name and the philosophy of one person that teaches killing people is good.
