I am not willing to take the chances with the Muslim world figuring out a Lockean society and it would be criminal of our government to leave our safety to such a long chance.

I am. They could form an absolute dictatorship under a monarchic despot, they could go totally socialist, they could read the US Constitution and do what it says just to shame us (now that would be novel), or they could commit mass suicide for all I care, just as long as they don't export the consequences beyond their borders.

just as long as they don't export the consequences beyond their borders.

But of course they'll "export the consequences". The Twin towers attack was such "export", adn there will be more to come.
