We need to get out as soon as possable.

Why?

With the Shias and Sunnies, there is no chain of command, there is no base to retreat to, there is no front line, there are no uniforms to even identify the enemy, there is no commander and chief on either side to tell the groups on either side: that they are out numbered, that they are surrounded, that they are running low on artillery, and it is time to surrender. A war like this can never be won or lost, just random acts of sectarian violence. How can you win a war, when you can not even define the enemy?

Problem?

Taqiyya or Dissimulation

The fear is that the Middle East will eventually want to become our friends and want to trade with us. So we become complacent and let our guard down, then disaster stikes. Solution: Dissimulation, Deception, whatever you want to call it, only goes so far. Fundamentalist extremest will not work nintey-precent against their cause just so they can work ten-percent for their cause. These people that will lie and say they want to be our friends, but have underlieing evil motives are not going to go out and peform righteous acts: give women rights, feed and shelter the homeless, ect.. So we will be able to see who really wants peace and is sincere and who is just putting on a front, with our own eyes.

Solution to it all:

I'm Catholic, if another Catholic came to me and told me that they were going to bomb an abortion clinic, I would immediately inform the authorities. The same thing can, and will happen within the Muslim religion. We need to be on the offence, but there is a non-violent way to do it. We can not let the fundamentalist movement in the Muslim religion flourish. We need to find people within the Muslim religion that truly want peace and ask them to preach it to all the people they find within the Muslim religion regardless of the consequences. Why would they do that? Because the greatest Jihad or holy war, struggle, effort, what ever you want to call it, is with oneself according to the Koran. They would be willing to risk their own lives to better the Muslim religion. The idea of the Muslim religion, is to get others to turn to Allah, so by preaching a peaceful message, living a outstanding live with morals and ethics then their chances of people joining their religion and turning to Allah are far greater to succeed then if they acted irrational and violently. How many people here would want to join a religion that blows people up and creates terror in people? Not many, right.
