Phew. I'm glad I didn't get whupped while I was asleep.
Referring to insurgency, Bard E. O'Neill emphasises that by generalising, a counter-insurgency force limits its own effectiveness. I think that it is therefore very dangerous for US policy, or even just our thoughts, to be aimed against Islam in general. If we percieve our enemy to be Islam as a whole, Islam will effectively become our enemy.
IMO, if and when we invade Saudi, Iran, etc, it would be better to have the ability to co-opt the 'silent majority' than have them formed against us.
Technically, we might be at war with Islam, but I think that THINKING that we are could be dangerous.
