The problem is, the culture of the moderates is closer to that of the radicals than to western culture, which makes sense, right? If we continue on with blustery language about crusades and defeating another culture, there is a very real chance that moderates will identify that culture as their own. We've probably tortured this idea beyond recognition, but my intent this entire time has been to highlight the dangers in macho diplomacy that brands entire nations evil-doers.
