#3 Multiculturalism - another gift that keeps on giving.

Any time your grand strategy is based on an idea as intrinsically idiotic as the notion that the magic of geographical translocation will somehow transform invading enemies into clones of yourself, you deserve to lose.

Just as integrating a bellicose empires into your economic system will gentle their nature and induce them to turn from centuries of geographical and political aggrandizement. You deserve the consequence of enabling their next round of aggressions. (But what about Germany and Japan? We bombed the crap out of them, leveled them and rebuilt their institutions by sitting on them for over three generations)

#4 Consider the cultural context and history of both of those nations, as disparate as they were, neither was lacking the breadth and depth of culture. Consider the shallow death cults of the current proponents of the caliphate, and consider that the last actual cultural flowering was in the 12th century in Spain and perhaps the 13th century in Turkey. Since then, not so much?

#5 I prefer what a preacher said recently. There may be an America, a Britain, Germany, Australia, and that is nationalism. But as a Christian you are a part of a Greater Kingdom. When brothers and sisters of that Kingdom are being butchered, no matter where they are, you come to their aid. Because many believe they will have to face the King who will judge you as to whether or not you chose to be your brother's keeper when your brother needed you to be.

#6 "Me, I'm just waiting for Zero to call for a loya Jirga to establish the Caliphate in the West"

I'm surprised he has not done so yet.
He has surrendered to both Caliphs already.
