Beestie, by doing something that has been suggested plenty of times but somehow it seems more popular to bomb people into submission or in most cases, shallow graves to be the food for the seeds of the next generation's anger. Give them jobs, stable governments, aircon, Ford Escorts and make their societies vibrant and forward looking. See how many pick up guns then. What's needed is a new Marshall plan. Hug the bastards to death, killing them is about as pointless as it gets, you're swinging at a hydra and you're hitting everything else in the process. Extremeist nutters of any colour or stripe are only really a dangerous force when they gain popular support.
