It's not like they're military generals who are desperately needed to plan and coordinate... ISIS attacks are crude and scattered. A 10 year old could plan one. 10 year olds probably DO plan some.

The idea the bombs and bullets will beat back ISIS is so naive that it makes me actually cringe. They will be defeated slowly, intelligently and diplomatically or not at all. Probably the latter, because we are too bloodthirsty and vengeful to consider the former.

Well while you're cringing - please enlighten us all as to just WHAT your solution is?

By the amount of people doing it on here, it seems it is the easiest thing in the world to keep popping up dissing and ridiculing other debaters ideas without actually ever actually proffering an alternative.

The IS bastards themselves in Palmyra are living proof of how easy it is to knock things down with no attempt at building.
