This is a good example of an American trying to sort out this conflict without any sort of context.
No offense, Zig...
The father of the king of Syria had a problem with insurgents, too, once. There was also a fairly large city called Hama, once. He paved it... with tens of thousands of people serving as gravel, and many of his problems ceased to bother him. This was widely regarded as better than the clusterfuck in Beruit that had been going on for 14 or so years at that time.
These are the rules by which we are playing in the Middle East.
They do not share your values.
That is not to say they won't, just that they don't.
