If we eschew a viable alternative we should have a clearly articulated reason.

How about the rest of the world will think we are such obsessed loons (fighting "wars" against tactics and enemies who never go away) that we lack the stature to act as a world leader on any issue? We are already part way down that road now.

Another thought - throughout the Cold War, did we ever capture Russian or Cuban advisers on Asian or African battelfields and hold them as POWs until 1990?

Nope. Even though they were directing troops who often harmed our troops and our allies.
