Bomb them to hell.

While it's always been a tactic of Islamist terror; relatively comfortable monied terror heads getting poor and stupid people to do their dirty work for them, we now have people from the west, from the UK flying over to basically get to 'play' at being terrorists. It does not help, and I will be attacked for this, that many come from relatively comfortable families where the domestic culture essentially treats them as entitled little princes by virtue of their sex. No one ever questions them, tell them know or calls them out on their self interested stupidity. When this whole sorry mess is over and any of them live to see it, they will be crying to their parents to get back home.

Actually, I've heard quite a few news stories (the latest one just today) about girls trying to go to Syria or Irak to fight. That's quite surprising indeed.

it's amazing how easily the war machine can be fired up.  every news affiliate is running stories "ISIS recruiting Americans and smuggling across Mexican border?  details at 7"  this after Iraq-2003 became the most unpopular war in the history of post-industrial revolution imperial society.  it helps that it's a Democrat, otherwise liberals would be asking the more uncomfortable questions, while Republicans are only capable of thinking of it as a "bad investment"

It looks like ISIS will be used as an excuse to go after Assad. We'll give arms to some "moderate" Al Qaeda affiliated rebel groups. I'm sure things will go great there.

Wow, you really have no clue.
