Adequate Solution Needed

Your article on Muslims tuning in only to their spin is well seen to a point.

Like the Nazis, the Muslims are locked into their view. We needed a World war to enable Germans to tune into a new view. We could not change them, only destroy them. As long as the Muslims see success in their endeavors -- and there is much success in the anticipation of taking over Europe and destroying Israel -- they will not change. They need to be beaten militarily when they come against the West and actually experience reversals in their aims before they will consider new paths.

Alas Israel writes her own death warrant by helping create an Arab state dedicated to Israel's destruction. This will not bring peace but continued war until Israel vanishes. Israel should have beaten the Arabs back and reduced Arab control over territories rather than the opposite. Israel instead is following a course that will alienate its supporters and end in its own disappearance. Consider that in your pipe.
