This is the smartest thing I&#x27;ve heard her say. To advance a successful agenda in the middle east, the US needs to wage a subversive culture war, not a physical one.<p>If you could focus on one core idea that would end suffering, bloodshed and violence in this region it would be to nurture the spread competing ideologies (eg.atheism) to the religious one.<p>Unfortunately, America is never going to do that, and this is why the middle east won&#x27;t be disrupted, and why it hasn&#x27;t happened in the last 50 years. It would be good if some other western country&#x27;s propaganda dept would pick up this torch, but they&#x27;d never get it done as good as your average silicon valley growth marketer could.
