They're like vermin. You can keep them at bay temporarily, but once you leave they'll come back. They have time on their side. |

Strongholds should = massive targets … of course the collateral damage would be horrific … It would be interesting if China and/or Iran "invaded" the region … The Russians … well the USSR, tried but it didn't work out very well for them for them.
