I'll name it...it's called Evil...call me a quack if you want but I always think of the fights God sent his people to in the Old Testament....he told them to kill everything and bury it so that all evil is gone....unfortunately we no longer have the heart of the fighting men in the Bible...we try to make peace with those who shake our hands one day and kidnap and behead the next.
I for one think we have been to "soft" in Iraq....if the evil keeps coming...we continue to bury it regardless of what shape it comes in....Here/Iraq/Iran/Saudi whatever it takes is what we have to do.....
I'll name it...it's called Evil..."States like these, and their terrorist allies, constitute an axis of evil, arming to threaten the peace of the world." President George W. Bush, SOTU, 1-29-02
Sorry, he beat you to it.

You may also want to think about the fact that His people DID NOT obey Him. Had they done so, the ME would look completely different today. Instead they married their women, kept choice animals etc.
unfortunately we no longer have the heart of the fighting men in the Bible...
As I just pointed out, the fighting men in the Bible did not "have the heart" to eradicate the problem either, thus, we are dealing with the same problem today, as every generation somewhere in the world has had to deal with it.
Sad but true.
