Okay, speaking just militarily. The "two-front war" phobia is just that. Hitler lost because his "two-front war" was against the USSR and the Allies, the two biggest armies (eventually) in the world. The USA actually fought on at least three fronts in WWII (European Theater, China-Burma-India, and the Pacific), with smaller theaters like the Aleutians and North Africa/Mediterranean thrown in, and we won. True, terror could be a problem in the early stages, but as the ground troops and air forces neutralized the military assets of the "Union", this would fall away. Then, rule the Arab world militarily until democracy in some form is established. Oh, yeah, kill off all of the radicals that lead and train the terrorists. Militarily, that's easily doable, in, say, two years. Politically, harder.
