"┬À Ignore and Pretend. No surviving culture succeeded with this strategy. Liberals and moderates would like to try to ignore the problem beginning by not naming it truthfully (sounds familiar of anyone here?). Pretend that more security measures will make life safe enough. Like itÔÇÖs a police problem. Like itÔÇÖs a hatred of our ÔÇÿfreedomsÔÇÖ and our way of life. Indian raids, integral to the Indian way of life ÔÇô their culture, were savage assaults on the frontier. From 1608 to 1890, those folks living under the threat of Indian attacks, didnÔÇÖt suffer the folly and well-wishing pretense of people who lived in safety. If Islamists personalize the war with many more July 7ths and 9-11s, the pretending will end. "

"┬À Convince and Convert. If the U.S. or U.K. can define what it means to be an American or British, then either nation could assimilate a minority. Once, Indian children were shipped to the Carlisle School and Hampton Institute and Westernized.

A confident and ascending culture gains converts voluntarily. Barbarians crossed the Rhine in the 4th Century to join the rising Legions, call themselves by Latin names, wear Roman dress and become citizens - inheritors to Roman Civilization. One hundred years later as Rome declined, Romans adapted Barbarian names and dress and swore allegiance to local tribal leaders. "
