"I think we should sell weapons to both sides and nuke the survivors"
That may be a little harsh. I'm not so sure that's a brilliant analysis.
However, I'm not sure I have a better solution.
How do you get the wingnuts to lay down their weapons when your over-bloated defense companies keep building and selling weapons to any and all with taxpayer dollars? There's a lot of money to be made in the death trade by many different countries. No wonder the aliens think we're crazy (we are!)
