Killing them completely is not the only solution, Troubleshooter. One solution is to just leave, and stop buying their oil. When Europe during the Middle Ages considered the dangers in the Middle East no longer tolerable or profitable, they went West in search of alternative trade routes to Asia. Greater opportunities developed with the discovery of the "New World", and the Middle East languished alone for centuries. Simply develop already existing energy alternatives, and let them sit another 4 or 5 hundred years in their worthless black pools.
