A Reason to Vote Republican

As I understand it, the Muslim terrorists thoroughly believe that the Quran is instructing them to convert us or kill us. Like any population group, Muslims have a broad spectrum of beliefs on how they are supposed to treat infidels. How unclear is the Quran on this issue?

There are apparently hundreds of millions of Muslims around the world who are not plotting to convert or kill infidels. Let’s call them ordinary Muslims. Is that group of ordinary Muslims generally ashamed at the actions of the terrorists, or is that group quietly supportive of the terrorists, and would join them if provoked? If the former is true, then I believe we have a chance of resolving this conflict. If the latter is true, then it will never end until one side or the other is all converted or dead. As I understand it, large portions of that group of ordinary Muslims are also terrorist targets, because they are too liberal (in the sense that they are not living up to the strict religious standards of the terrorist Muslims). Do you agree?

How can this conflict ever be resolved if the terrorists are willing to die to convert us or kill us, and Americans are also willing to die to keep from being converted or killed? Will this become, or has this already become, a holy war of global proportions? I think ultimately that the ordinary Muslims will decide this question by choosing to become terrorists in large numbers or by choosing to hunt down and kill terrorists. Iraq is a microcosm of this conflict, where ordinary Muslims have voted in great numbers, ordinary Muslims have joined the Iraqi police and military to fight the terrorists, but thousands of other Iraqis have joined the terrorist and insurgency movements.

I am sure I have oversimplified this massively complex issue, but perhaps I am starting to grasp its scale?

What plan do the Democrats have for resolving this global conflict? Appeasement? I doubt there is any way to appease a devoutly religious terrorist. Clearly, the Republicans are willing to send our military to fight the terrorists on foreign soil. Does anything else really matter when we vote?
