I am a firm believer that some sort of stability is necessary before lasting change can be affected. Work on that first, then work on changing mindsets.

Serious question, isn't every war a war of ideology? I agree that it is near impossible to change these peoples' views. What I have trouble understanding is how this is any different than any other war that has ever been fought. I'm trying to ask this question in as nuetral a way as I possibly can.
