You are spot on. The Middle East has adapted to modern technology. But don't forget, they are countries with deep ties to their pasts, their religions, and their way of life. They are desert dwellers. They will go back to the desert and give up all modern luxuries to fight for their way of life. When will our government get this? Trump is trying to make us more dependent on their oil rather than develop alternative energy. Donald Trump needs to be impeached now.
