I'm still working on the original problem; I haven't solved it.

Read about the Marshall Plan. A form of what the US did in
Europe was also done in Japan. Getting Japan back on its
own feet with the appropriate expansionism cut out was the
only way for the US to proceed. We don't like perpetual
babysitting. hmm...maybe this is another difference between
the US and European thinking. They can't imagine that
a country outside Europe can take of care of themeselves.

An author to read is Bernard Lewis. His books are short.
You might try to read:

A History of the Arab Peoples; Albert Hourani;belknap Press, 1991
The Middle East, A History; Sydney Nettleton Fisher; Knopf, 1967
Islam and Politics; John L. Esposito; Syracuse; 1984.

To escape from the very strict to make money; capitalism does that
for people. Now learn about old fashioned rules about banking
in the books I listed.

Sorry.

The difficulty lies in the distance between the "mistaken
assumption" bit and what it is that's mistaken.

See if this rewrite suits your idea as I think it does.

[rewrite of BAH theme]
In a historical context, war has been defined as two highly
organized groups, each funded and supplied by recognized
governments, meet on a field somewhere and shoot at each
other. More recent wars carry forward the same concept
with the adoption of WMD's and other distance killing.

I'm trying to address the mistaken assumption that conflicts
of any other nature have to be treated as criminal and apply
a country's criminal law to each individual. Formal warfare
has progressed far beyond our earlier definitions and must
grow to include the new realities.
[end rewrite of BAH theme]

So a conflict with them is going to be done using new sets
of rules of engagement.

There's far more to a case than the outer panels.

No. Avoiding holes is though.
