So what? What next?
Roads. Roads are the key to pacification.
Roads lead to commerce, the free exchange of ideas, multiculturalism, the widening of the gene pool, the breaking of monopolies on trade and information. Roads break cultural stagnation, lower the cost of goods, and increase the general well being. A good D9 Caterpillar will do more to get rid of the Taliban, than a thousand well meaning troops. Rome knew about roads. You show me a county with good bridges and roads and I will show you a healthy country.
