It is old, but I believe Stephen had the best
answer. He says:
I fear that before this war ends we shall have to make changes as radical to the majority of Islamic nations, especially the Arab ones. I fear that, because I don't see how this war can end if we don't, unless we are defeated. We can't merely defeat them militarily; I think we have to break their spirit.
He explains it in the context of Imperial Japan and that seems pretty logical to me.
