I have not suggested that we do anything of the sort.
On the other hand, I think that it would be prudent to do some worst case planning. As noted, with age comes pragmatism and reality, except for the most diehard of libs.
I also think that most of the American Muslims, even the more radical ones, would be ripe for recruitment as anti-radical insurgents, if they saw the dichotomy of the Muslim states as practiced, rather than as preached.
If you want to look at historical examples, I further recommend examining treatment of Loyalists during the Revolutionary War and Unionists in the Confederacy (or Confederate sympthizers in the North).
I would rather fight those who have no honor without it myself, rather than see my children not grow up at all. Sometimes, you have to amputate a limb to save the patient. Did Lincoln destroy the Union when he suspended Constitutional rights and freedoms?
