Islamic State vs. The World (except Canada)

[Cassius]

There should certainly be intervention, for the purposes of crushing this nascent hub for terrorism and also to stop these bastards from butchering Christians. However, something tangible needs to be gained from this; for example, a government needs to be established that is backed by the United States, and one that the United States can exercise some control over. If what happens is that ISIS get routed and then we all go home, the country may spiral back into chaos; thus a permanent presence is likely to be needed. Now, that presence must be worth our while; the United States and other countries shouldn't intervene solely to prevent this butchery.
