Can we just blanket every ISIS controlled region with some of this microwave energy and send their communications ability back to the stone age?

- strictnein 10y agoSo the innocent people inside have literally no hope of communicating with the outside world?
- pavel_lishin 10y agoYou might end up cooking a lot of people, as well as disabling all of the surrounding infrastructure, sending the people who live there back to the stone age as well. "We cleared out all those ISIS bad guys for you. Well, their cellphones. You probably didn't hear about it because we also cooked your cellphones and radios, too."
- sschueller 10y agoYou mean a neutron bomb.! Maybe we should figure out why they fight and not bomb the crap out of them or send the back to the stone age (BTW, people living in the 'stone age' knowing there is something better will fight for that)
- hood_syntax 10y agoYou think figuring out why they fight matters? I have not seen any evidence that getting involved in the Middle East has ever been a long term win for both sides. Best thing the West can do is leave it alone (that includes not selling arms to various involved parties, which is currently happening in many countries over there)
