How 'bout we extricate ourselves from the madness, entirely...work through diplomatic policy to guarantee a steady flow of ME oil at an affordable price...and tell the bad guys that no matter where they hide; we will find you, we will kill you - and if your family happens to be in the way then they will die beside you; even if you are not home at the time our drone shows up. It's your choice and it's your governments choice to allow you to take refuge in their country - they will pay a financial toll in economic aid and relations, but we retain the global right as a superpower and trading partner to lay waste to anyone who dares to attack the United States or its people. If the attack is sanctioned by the governing body then count your days of life because they are numbered.

We can go low tech, or high tech. We may send in the police to arrest you or we may send in the military to destroy you, but be assured we will find you and we will prosecute you with extreme prejudice day or night.

Anyway, that's just my take...all this Nation Building crap is something you do for people who will thank you when it's all over with, not spit in your face and swear to some God that you be destroyed at some later date.
