#2 Would it be sacreligious to have a shows featuring a reasonable not culty-secty Sunni and a rereasonable not culty-secty Shia each with their own show, trying to be uplifting and not violent? It could start as just inspirational talk. "we need to build Iraq, becasue everyone will benefit. . ."

It might actually work into a thing where people write/email (filtering easier) ask for advice, etc. etc.

"What does the Koran say about. . . "

As we would have moderate sorts in the dias, we could show that we aren't against Islam, just the looneys, who are in reality against the common Iraqi as well.

This could make the desired message - the radical Clerics are (like the left wing of the Dems) - elitist Totalitarian-minded thugs.
