I fear that it may come to that. I doubt we'd use nukes, but we may have to start infliciting serious casualties and infrastructure destruction on places like Yemen, southern Saudi Arabia, the Sunni Trianlge, and the tribal areas of Pakistan, as collective punishment for harboring fugitive Wahhabi/Salafist troublemakers.
We are going to be accused of imperialism no matter what we do. May as well get some mileage out of it, and go into full Roman Empire mode.
