we now have the ability to remove satans latrine, aka mecca from the face of the earth. This will effectively end his-slime.

Therein lies the conundrum: we have the ability, true; but so far, our political leaders (in all of Western civilization) don't have the will.

We have seen that in every war the US has been engaged in since WW2. We have piles of materials and means, but our leaders still lack the will to use them massively. The same with Israel and their recent backing down from their conflict with Hizbulla. Our Western leadership fears they will be accused of being too powerful; the UN demands proportional response.

Look at the restriction the UN has on Israel: Cease fire and don't fire back if Hizbulla does happen to fire at you.

Piles of materials don't mean much, if the leadership refrains from using them.
