I'm not convinced. We created the conditions for the suicide bombings. This is the same as the domino fear mongering re Vietnam. Sometimes you just have to let time take its incremental toll and let people work out their own salvation and path to enlightenment.

Let me ask you this? Since when has forcible occupation by a superpower ever been a solution for anything? These are not aboriginies like Caesar found in Gaul, or American settlers found in our continent. It's a culture highly developed for better or worse. We can't impose righteousness and liberty on them.
