Rat can put it back in the bottle; take about 100 leaders from the entire area, take them out to Usal Beach, and dose them on acid.
Better yet.. we should ask ourselves why we should tolerate UNELECTED warloards and dictators in charge of illegitimate governments that threaten the democratic values and human rights... Hell, we permit them to even participate in what is a quasi-democratic world body, the UN, where they continue to thwart all any attempt at promoting peace, human rights, and democratic values.
For too long we've had a policy of not eliminating such fanatical leaders as being "distasteful" and against our values (and I certainly do not advocate widespread use of the practice).
But I keep thinking that having folks Ahmadinejad, Nasrallah, or Kim Jong Il constantly looking over their shoulders and worried about being "sanctioned" (ala Eiger Sanction), we'd have far less bloodshed in the world and it would keep the people in their countries from paying the horrible price of the totalitarian aspirations of these megalo-maniacs.
How many millions of people would not have had to die if we'd only orchestrated the assassination of Hitler and Stalin?
Figure the odds though.. Such ridiculous restrictions almost guarantee that the blood of our youth (and their's) will be spilled on the altar of tyrannical world, or regional, domination. The only "war", (ie: competition or rivalry) that should exist between nations is economic and spiritual, and it should remain non-violent).
It should be needless to say that I do not include US policy as being part of some attempt to force people to submit to US empire, although I can almost guarantee that some moron on this thread is going to assert this.
Let people choose their governments via honest and fair elections. Keep governments inwardly focused upon meeting the needs of their own citizens and less on dominating or destroying the citizens of neighboring countries.
