A snake without a head, just a virus infection

Why do Israel and the USA not also bomb the 30,000 or so Islamo-fascist kitchens where the actual mad ideology is being cooked and served on a daily basis?

Obviously, the Ayatollah IRGC Inc.’s outward behavior over the past 45 years is but a symptom — a natural consequence of the religious ideological brainwashing that has occurred in their society since they took control. The Judeo-Christian camp can bomb all the factories and sites they want, take out a couple of thousand “heads of the snake” even, but obviously this does not erase the dark well from which these behaviors grow — and from which they will grow back in time.

Religious clubhouses are usually considered sanctuaries, to be respected, better left alone so as not to provoke further violence and revenge. Also, the history of the West is rife with religious-tribal wars and the destruction of houses of worship — symbols of what is holy and most dear to your enemy. What could be more satisfying than destroying that too?

Even after the complete destruction of all enemy hardware, all religious clubhouses and symbols, even half of the population killed if necessary, religious ideologies are very persistent and have a habit of resurrecting. Resentments have a very long memory.

So there is no solution. Just the usual. The Judeo-Christian West, with its niceties of free speech, individual rights, separation of church and state, free-market capitalism, and all that, does not have the immune system against religious or ideological cancerous excesses, old and new.

Still no reliable war reports imo.

Chatham House, UN and EU are notably not invited.

A question is whether this will escalate into a regional shia-sunni clash all over again. And how much Shia revenge terrorism elsewhere in the world will occur.

Religious sentiments are usually stronger than simple territorial and economic considerations. The Meddle East remains an explosive mix of various madnesses and real monkey needs and interests.

I would prefer Elon Musk and his Autist Star Fleet to ship all Abramites to Mars where they can battle out who are the true heirs and representatives of divine truth.
