Less people are these days. These poeple have been toys of US policy for decades. Sorry, did i say is justified anything? Stop trying to put words into my mouth. its also worth noting that impoverished is a relative term.

Good job misunderstanding. If you free the majority you marginalise the fanatics, back to where they bleong - the fringes. Like nazis, thats the textbook case on this stuff.
Of course a good 'smackdown' will fix it right? Yea, force always works.....
As for cultural stuff, its a symptom of other things.
