One thing we must change about our occupational diplomacy abroad.

"Changing" a country does not mean altering its entire political and social makeup. We have to stop thinking we can force democracy on some of these people.

What we have to do is try to bring about a slow change. maybe with the introduction of schools that would not require, but still allow religious practice. A weaning of the youth off of religious dogma that they get in some of these institutions now that does very little to fit them with anyone but one of their own in the future.

We need to study a country first on more than a military and economic level before invading and try to find a way to get under their skin.

Not burn it off and try and replace it with another.
