    Well yes, the only way to erase a nation or culture’s hatred of your violence is with enough violence to literally genocide them.

    But there really aren’t that many. You just put it down for a generation until it comes back, usually with a different name.

      Killing terrorists isn’t genocide. Plenty of violent groups have been stopped by arresting or killing their members. That doesn’t mean their race, culture, or nation was destroyed though. The only “culture” that distinguishes them from those around them is a philosophy predicated on killing as many civilians as possible. Often people within their own culture stop them with violence since they often target their own.
