Sir;... I am sure we are in a war to end all peace...I can't see any end to it...At best we should give Islam plenty of space, and not intrude into their business, their morals, or their politics... We should be very careful of what we broadcast into their homes and television sets, because we show we are immoral, weak, untrustworthy, and at heart, pagans pretending to Christianity...We think we can beat these people...Those who think that underestimate them, and us...We would not easily give up, and yet we should give up on the offense, and stick to defense... No people has beat Islam without being conquered by them...The last of the Mongols did not last long... Even the Turks could not long hold the rest of Islam, when they were much more cruel than we can live with being... Those people are best left to themselves...In particular; if  America cannot afford peace, we cannot afford war...We will never be able to afford war without the willingness to tax the rich, but then, they would not demand war if they had to pay their share...Think of how much easier this depression would be if Islam wanted our products... Think of how much easier it would be to buy their oil if they really wanted our money... We have ruined them as a market, and we are shot as a market even for our own goods... We better stick with the war on poverty...Poverty supports a lot of people, but it has few true advocates... Thanks for the good article...Sweeney
