ahhh but this right here is the nub of the problem. I read an article in the NY Times a few weeks back were they profiled the man behind the philosophy of Islamic extremists, unfortunately I forgotten his name. And one of their root beefs with the US system IS the separation of church and state. I wonder if they will be able to make it work in Iraq or not??
