I think we know what would happen if we went around Iraq locking up recalcitrant clerics. Some sort of sanctions must be available to a new government to deal with that problem when it arises. I'm just not smart enough to figure out what form the sanctions would take to be successful.
But we don't hear from them. They are too busy trying to git along to get along in the fascistic system of Mosqes, Islam, Radical Imams, what have you.
Our aim is toward the reasonable, rational, non-extremists. Our aim is to promote Freedom in a world of slaves dominated by religious fanatics gone mad.
Herein lies the rub with Islam. It the only major religion of the world that considers religon and civil control as unity.
This unified concept is at the heart of the threat that Islam presents to secular governance.
