That's probably why the Roman Empire continues to dominate the world to this day. 
Be that as it may, the Carthaginians are not a threat to anyone anymore.
You want to stop the Somali pirates? Kill them. Bombard their cities and towns, defoliate their fields, poison their wells, let them starve. Sooner or later the remaining pirates will decide that maybe being a farmer or a fisherman isn't such a bad thing after all.

Nor are the Romans. Wonder what caused their downfall?

That's one solution. There are better ones. Ones that don't make make your side a perpetual target.

So long as you have something and someone else thinks they should have it you will be a perpetual target.
It's the way of the world and cute little liberal platitudes and wishes upon a star will not change it.
