I disagree. The last time we tried that went horribly wrong; we watched and negotiated and &quot;waged the war of ideology&quot; too patiently while Hitler grew in power, until ultimately the Nazis had to be fought and slaughtered and condemned without mercy.<p>If history repeated itself, we would be wise to intervene faster instead of twiddling our thumbs on the sidelines. And we&#x27;d know that waging any kind of ideological war would be futile. It&#x27;s almost certainly too late to solve the problem with anything other than military action.
