The more I see of radical Islamist behavior, the better the concept of "Arab reservations" sounds. And it might be paid for with the oil revenue that currently funds terrorism.
Actually, I recognize that it isn't that simple. But the fact remains that the current radical Islamist strategy of infiltration, overbreeding, and rule by terror is gaining ground. Europe, for reasons which are easier to understand every time one of the "progressives" here opens his/her mouth, obviously doesn't have the anatomical and hormonal components necessary to take on the job.
And the saddest and most ominous part of the picture is that our feminized over-sensitized, half-broken society, in which "everyone gets a gold star to take home to Mama" and too many of our sons are being turned into well-behaved little girls, is leading us down the same path.
Israel had the entire Arab word "on the ropes" back in 1967, and had it not been for the presence of the Soviet Union, the job could have been finished, and a colonial system re-established. Putin, of all people, probably understands this better than anyone else, but as has already been demonstrated, the cost in human suffering, on both sides, is very high when conventional militarism is invoked.
We have already been drawn into this quagmire whether we like it or not. The left-leaning crowd who rant constantly about Bush (after seven years) conveniently forget that the global riffraff had previously been taught the proper lesson by Ronald Reagan. We can deflect the most serious threat (of nuclear or WMD terror) without "boots on the ground" via surgical and decapitation strikes (Iran and North Korea being the place to start, if necessary) and by both greater vigilance against the enemies among us and a campaign of identifying the Arab money that funds terror -- and feeding those vermin from the same spoon from which they seek to feed us -- clandestine counterstrikes against individuals.
We also desperately need a lesson or two from Israel on how to deal with enemies already within our own borders.
"Some day, there is going to be a war; I don't see how it can possibly be avoided." (Barry Goldwater - c.1962)
Fortunately for all of us, the war which Senator Goldwater prophesized was relatively bloodless, but nevertheless won via economic pressure -- we simply fine-tuned our economy to a level of efficiency that our Soviet foes couldn't hope to match, and the Soviet Union fell behind and collapsed -- with our peacenik Lefty friends demonstrating and marching against it every step of the way. But it hasn't yet been demonstrated whether this strategy can be made to work against Youassa bin Draggin and his 72 virgins.
The barbarians are alive. Why should we act just like Isis? They think just as you do.

Because once they are removed, most of the developed world has enough of a conscience to return to civilized behavior, just as it did after exterminating the scourge of Nazism.

Any more questions?
Fighting the Nazis was easy, they had a visible army and were not hard to find.
Isis is everywhere, it could be the pregnant lady living next door.
It does not work that way-----------unless you decide to do what Hitler wanted to do-----eliminate an entire ethnic group from the planet.
We (USA) were a colony for nearly two centuries. Then that status became so intolerable that we fought a long protracted costly war to gain independence. Many other current nations did the same. The take-away being that people don't care much for the exploitation they have to endure as colonists.
Returning to that failed model doesn't make sense.

The US still has a few colonies of its own. And the colonized folks don't do well at all.
American Samoa.
Guam.
Northern Mariana Islands.
Puerto Rico.
U.S. Virgin Islands.
Glad to help you learn facts about history!
They're not the same thing.
Let me school you on a few of the differences between a colony and a US territory:
Colonies have governors or viceroys appointed by an overseas government.
US territorial governors are elected by the residents.
Natives of US territories are citizens.
Natives of colonies are subjects. Oftentimes they're subservient to "visiting" foreigners from the imperial nation. They are often not accorded basic rights.

The US acquired those countries and never made them a state. They may have some autonomy, but are not totally on their own. You can call it anything you want, but a territory is at least a pseudo-colony and not a state.

Should we bring back colonialism?
No, those are territories, not colonies.
