The Real Reason Why We Can't Defeat ISIS

13. Maybe "Islamist violence" is no more or less irrational than any other kind of violence.

What does "Islamist violence" have that "Christianist violence," "Jewishist violence" or "paganist violence" don't have?

3.5 billion people on this planet are Muslim. If all 3.5 share some special kind of violence that is more irrational than dropping an atom bomb on Japanese school children after Japan was on the run, like some very decent Americans (no sarcasm as to the airmen) did, be afraid, be very afraid.

Me I'm a llttle afraid of people who still think the US has solved anything by going to war since the WW II ended. I'm even a little afraid of people who don't get that war is between or among two or more sovereign nations; and, at that, has always been the most irrational, brutal and inhuman way of resolving differences between heads of state.
