Tough choices. We can flatten the entire region and I don't see anyone making that call, or we can hope to slowly civilize them. So far they don't seem interested in the whole indoor plumbing and schools thingy. Internet porn may slow them down a bit.
You don't have the right or the moral imperative to "flatten the entire region" anymore then someone from one of those regions has the right to drop a bomb on a major US city. This whole thread is racist in nature and disgusting. And you wonder where terrorists get their motivation from ? Sure, why not post a lot of hateful shit on the internet about people of other nations and religions and see how much respect the US gets outside of your borders.
