No, that's not what I am saying. Ironically, that is typically the response I get from Tex when we debate the issue.
Radical Islam is dangerous, irrational, and a serious threat to our future. The real question is what is the best strategy for responding to that threat? We have not overreacted as much as we have made stupid strategic moves (invasion of Iraq, national building, etc.).
So, the real question is: What do I think we should do? I don't have time to adequately respond to that now, but I will try to do so later tonight or perhaps tomorrow.
In the meantime, perhaps you can elaborate on your suggested approach to winning a war against radical Islam.
