The consequence of not destroying this infrastructure is that a vicious and brutal regime has much more resources and has an easier time surviving. By protecting a couple of "civilian" truck drivers -- and if your day job is illegally smuggling oil for a terrorist organization, one must question how much of a "civilian" you really are -- we guarantee that actual civilians in the Islamic State, not to mention civilians in areas attacked by it, will suffer far longer.
