If the Islamic State problem escalates to the point that they're an actual state with a strong army and invades neighbouring countries to cleanse it of its impurities, then something needs to be done.

ISIS pushed back from Kobane by Kurds/yanks, SA seems to have turned them over a few times, Yazidis issue "alleviated" if you will. More hand wringing of course and calls for abstention in accordance with 3, will result in 2, necessitating the need for a bigger 1 eventually. What's needed is more 1 with regard to an eventual 3 for the region. Or as you'd say "FFS, so much fail in that statement"

Tony EH wrote: » Well, as your pal Chomsky said, you can generally, do one of three things: 1. You can alleviate the problem. 2. You can make the problem worse 3. You can do nothing. The "west" doesn't have a great track record at No.1 and it's actions usually lead to No.2, especially in the Middle East. So, perhaps the best course of action the west can do for the time being is No.3.

Isis believe dying on the battlefield gets them 72 virgins in heaven, but if they are killed by a woman they dont get to heaven. The Kurdish female fighters do a calling chant on advance and Isis scarper!
