But this paragraph is the important one. So many people fail to realize, or at least refuse to admit for moronic politically-correct reasons, that the true root of the problem is radical Islamic culture. The situation has been brewing for a LONG time, and the clerics and leaders of this movement prey upon the weak, the poor, the uneducated....
It is a cancer, and the cancer is spreading. You don't "negotiate" with cancer. You take radical measures to eliminate it.
Until our government, and the rest of the civilized world, starts dealing with it as such, we are going to continue to spin our collective wheels.

I say we quarantine it instead. We take steps to secure borders and let them stew in their own juices. This will never happen because we lust after their resources and have arranged it so we can't live w/o them.
I don't like these people but sad fact is they have more justification for considering western modernization a cancer as we have steadily encroached on their territory with business desires and cultural exports for the past multiple decades.
Do you remember the little (about 5'4" I'm guessing) GI who stood on a tank and led little Iraqi kids in some pop song sometime in '03? He got semi-famous over it. The tune had some squeeky interludes that mimiced horniness, complete with pelvic thrusts. The kids were eating it up while adults in the background were giving off looks that could kill.
It didn't really surprise me. Imagine American parents in the early 60s being faced with Prince, instead of just the Beatles. And that's just the tip of the iceberg of Arab/Islamic culture shock. Of course that doesn't justify mass murder in our cities but it does create an atmosphere where they feel like they're being over-run with a decadent imported culture.
A cancer, if you will (Cheney-ism).
