It means elimination any possibility of them gaining enough strength to fight us again. We are by no means headed in that direction.

Correct-o-mundo. But there are complications such as: who'll control the flow of oil in the aftermath? It should be us (given the sacrifice) where it'll remain a market commodity rather than a ransom held over the world's head--it is an 'earth' commodity afterall (Greenies of the world, UNTIE!).
