Clash of Civilizations is when the Muslim world is controlled by theocratic extremists -- and WE do business with them.

Edit
Like Iran?

"Clash of Civilizations is when the Muslim world is controlled by theocratic extremists -- and WE do business with them."

We do that with the Saudis now and even if they are not theocratic extremeists themselves they have been the prime funders of such thinking. Iran also is an example and they were involved in terror from their inception as well. They were just never able to do it on as grand a scale. And now they move toward nukes. I wonder if these regimes would be willing to actually commit suicide in setting off wmds against us? Or when faced with annihilation, do they moderate. Goes for NK too. mike
