I guess I'm very confused about the way you used term 'put down for good' to mean 'made ineffective, but maybe only temporarily' or why you think this conflict wouldn't also take decades.

Do you think when people have a pet put down, they actually send it to live on a farm upstate?

Yeah I guess there is no point in continuing this discussion here...and no I don't think that Osama is on a farm right now, but maybe you do. And yes "made ineffective, but maybe only temporarily" is a desiable state for the current situation since it can pretty much mean that they are done. But like I said no point in discussing this any further with you ;)

Okay. Though just so you know, this is what 'for good' means:

you can use google, not bad. Have an upvote for that :)

Apparently you also do not know what the phrase "I guess there is no point in continuing this discussion here" means.
