That's how the Taliban got their start. Not always the smartest policy.

It has nothing to do with intelligence - you don't just "get over" the past, and expecting people to do so is complete fantasy. There's still Irish that resent Cromwell, and that was 350 years ago.
Not every culture is about the *now*. Just because in North America nobody cares what happened longer than a decade or so ago (if that long), doesn't mean every other region of the planet has the same outlook.
