The Wahabist extremist sect has been around for centuries, Tom...What are you getting at?

You think that killing a few thousand terrorists will make it go away?
Will educating the children of fanatics help?
Will bribing them with jobs?
You're betraying a quickfix American mindset.
What mindset am I talking about? [Getting things accomplished within
a few years, or within a decade at most; Americans don't like to be involved
in decades long conflicts]
BUT!.....
Middle Eastern Muslims think in terms of CENTURIES!
There is no natural quick-fix to the horror and mess in the Middle East.
Another terrorist is born as quickly as I can type this post.
