(TWO THOUGHTS –

1) THE MEANING OF POLICY.

Black white fallacy akin to moral fallacy akin to criminal fallacy: non intervention, good character, moral action, and non-criminal action does not mean all of us fail to intervene, to possess episodes of poor character, to act immorally, and to break petty crimes.

From the military POV their policy and our policy has in fact, been non-intervention except when we cannot avoid it for some political or economic or strategic reason. This differs from the cold war policy of continuous intervention in order to stop the spread of world communism.

2) THE APPLICATION OF THAT POLICY TO INCREASING RATHER THAN DECREASING RESISTANCE

A policy of intervention over the past 20 years by which we treated islamism with the same interventionism that we did world communism (whose tactics the islamists adopted) might or might not have produced superior results to a policy of non-intervention.

From the military POV we took our cold war peace dividend and squandered it, since communism in secondary civilizations merely migrated into islamism in tertiary civilizations – as we should have rationally expected it to.

Modernity is … challenging to male status because modernity decreases the number of options for climbing the male dominance hierarchy to the left of the curve. The importance of male status increases with a decline in economic, emotional, and intellectual ability. So we should see and do see increasing hostility to modernity in both ruling and lower classes, and the affinity for modernity limited to the genetic middle classes.

This is the correct model for interpreting resistance to modernity. Islamic modernization should, by this analysis, make communist modernization a trivial cost by comparison.)
