OK, on a more serious note...

People are being manipulated, and religion is a very powerful lever. Also, things will never get any better in the middle east until the violent people are dead or imprisoned. Real social change happens generationally, not by short sanctions. Too bad the world has such little fortitude. The world underestimated the time and force it would take to bring people 600 years forward in social evolution.

And while we're doing this, Africa goes up in flames.
