But there is the rub, it won't happen. Unless the fight is brought to American soil and the USA becomes a battle ground, it isn't going to happen.

Parts of it are heading that way.
I travel all over the world, often to real police states, so I have a real reference here and am not just talking out of my ass. I have less hassles in
communist countries like Laos, Vietnam, Cuba, and China than I do in my home country. Wrap your head around that for a minute. How could that even be possible? How could the only place in the world, besides at a border crossing or airport, that I've ever been asked to "show my papers" and then treated like a criminal for no reason whatsoever, is in my home country, and not in the communist regimes that we were taught are so evil?
No matter how you want to spin the fact that your privacy is eroding, and all the CCTV cams, drones, and militarized police are a good thing, they are not. Just be happy you live in a relaxed area and not in one of the more uptight places.

Westerners are not willing to die simply for their belief in God. Western soldiers just do what they are told, and fight the battles they are told to fight. If given a choice, they would choose not to fight. Meanwhile, extremists believe all non believers must die and are willing to sacrifice themselves in the process. Until that changes, Muslim extremists have the upper hand. That is just the way it is.
