Nope, probably not as long as they keep clinging to thousand-year-old beliefs as if they're scientifically proven facts. I want for nothing more (as far as global affairs go) than for the developed world to move beyond fossil fuels not only for the purpose of helping out the environment but also to remove any interest in that backward wasteland. When they're broke but there's no foreign presence to blame it on, maybe they'll grow up a bit and embrace modern thinking (tolerance, equality, science, those sorts of things).
