We are always prepared for another WAR but our track record ai t very good since Vietnam.

Im sorry in places like the Middle East society is more "Tribal" & thats the system they operate in for hundreds of generations.
Does not matter how many bombs we drop or send young kids to their gravestones.
Ya aint gonna change them peoples mindsets & traditions neither
