Yes. There are those who want an all out, once-and-for-all crusade against
the Muslim world. That believe it's now or never, while we are the only superpower. That the rest of the world is either 'for us or against us'.
If this were unspoken policy, maybe a Bannon/Pence policy merging fundamentalism with imperialism, how would events of the last week look any different? Yes, individual decisions like the Jerusalum/Embassy dust up, hints at Russia alliances, the ban, the DNI/JCS ouster combined with Bannon/Breitbart installation at NSC (Breitbart????), media delegitimization, deliberate distancing of CIA, miiltary build up, etc are all separately heinous...but what is the big picture reason for all these? Is there one and shouldn't mainstream media start thinking about it?
If there is an overarching sprint toward world confrontation...is it correct to stay the fate of the world rests in the hands of the republicans in congress?
