Let me introduce you to the people we are discussing here.
These are people who believe you have no rights when it comes to matters of religion. That is they require that you believe what they believe in the manner they prescribe, and any failure or refusal to do so, if you’re lucky, will get you a bullet to the back of the head and if not (lucky that is) slow decapitation with a blunt knife.
These are people who believe women are a commodity which can be bought or sold with their only value to society being their ability to bear children and cook and clean house. Therefore education is wasted on then (women that is) and those women who object, well, another bullet to the back of the head or worse.
These are people whose chosen half time entertainment at sporting events is the stoning to death of women who are suspected of committing adultery, and there only needs to be a suspicion – usually created by a husband who wants to get rid of an unwanted wife.
So do you say we should go in and sort them out – you bet we should?
What makes you think that going back into Iraq and beating s**t out of the insurgents would "sort them out?" The only way to do that would be to systematically execute every single one of them' and even that wouldn't work, because once we left , others would move in from neighbouring countries to whip up the remaining population and start the whole thing all over again.
And once we've finished purging Iraq, should we then move on to cleanse, Iran, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and every other country that doesn't enforce our set of values?
Fundamentalist Islam is an abomination, but until the majority of people living under its rule decide they've had enough of it, there is very little we can do to eradicate it.
