If radical Muslims are such a small component of the Islamic world, then "our part" should include nothing more than dropping 25 million AK-47s and a billion rounds of ammunition on a country like Iraq, and letting these people establish their own democratic country.

The battle in Iraq is about stopping a relatively few terrorists and insurgents from taking down the democratically elected unity government of Iraq, which was put in power by 12 million Iraqis going to the polls risking life and limb to vote.

The difficulty, of course, is that Islam is not like Christianity. It does not recognize any difference between Church and State.

Even when you have an Established Church in the West, there is still some separation--kings and presidents on one side, bishops on the other. In Islam, there is no separation. They never understood that saying of Jesus: "Give unto Caesar that which is Caesar's, and unto God that which is God's."

Allah demands everthing, without exception, and the head of state is Allah's representative on earth. Islam calls on everyone to submit.

Maybe this conundrum can be solved, but it won't be easy.
