    How do you deprogram members of a cult at this scale?

    Maybe an island penal colony in the Pacific is preferable to perpetual internment camps?

        Agree, but how do you address the current problem, now that these people exist. Clearly the current strategy and these camps are just making it worse and if you release them, you are planting seeds of terrorism for a generation to come.

        We should do all we can in society to prevent people from going to prison, but you can’t just release prisoners without rehabilitation.

          If US left the region the problem would eventually be resolved by the people living there. It’s simply not the job of the US to play world police.

      I wouldn’t mind either for those in power tbh. Though I think in some cases we should at least give the American dictators a chance to be re-educated and become productive members of society.
