I would dispute the "for absolutely no valid reason.", but agree that it will probably return to business as usual of killing each other and promoting terrorism world wide from that region.
However in the last nearly 20 years of that timeframe where those 4500 were lost, I think they managed to curtail the spread of terrorism and have certainly managed to keep it limited on our Homefront.
While I wish they would just continue to slaughter each other, it seems when they have solid leadership and organization, the effort becomes more widespread.
I'd much rather fight them over there than here.
