I remember saying on this forum many years ago that I believed that invading Iraq was only likely to make things worse. So much so that it would probably take an entire generation before we could say that the situation was back to where it was before we got involved.
But to answer your question, there have been many solutions put forward by many people who know far more about the regions problems than you or I (or our government) will ever know, but unfortunately there are/were certain people in power who just don't/didn't want to listen to them because they don't fit the simplistic Hollywood scenario of good guy kills bad guy and we all go home after the credits.
By the way, I don't think that I actually called anyone a redneck.
