America has threatened to bomb a few countries back to the Stone Ages before as well. ADVERTISEMENTAfter 9/11 the US allegedly threatened to bomb Pakistan “back to the stone age” unless it joined the war on terror against the Taliban and al-Qaeda in Afghanistan. The Stone Age refers to a roughly 3.4-million-year period of prehistory when human beings primarily used stone for tool-making.
