If the beards all died they could quickly be brought to the good guy's side. Sure, they'll have issues with the Fundies in the hills, but they will be able to deal with them better than the Afghans did (very low bar).

My family back home are Shahis, I can confirm they are despicable. I can also confirm that clean shaven Nazis there are also despicable.
