Except we tried that before and it ended up with IS taking power. If we use the same tactics against IS, then we'll just have a more extreme group rise from it's ashes. Brutality is not the answer since extremists will just use every drone strike and operation as recruitment material and stories like this will only make things worse.

Ideologies matter, if we're gonna advocate human rights and freedom then we must practice those ideals because the only way to keep these extremist groups down is to show the people of the middle east we aren't the monsters we're made out to be but that's hard to do when we're torturing people freely and using Drone strikes to kill groups of innocent people in the hopes of getting at a few terrorists. Our actions have led us to the IS crisis and history will only repeat itself if we are brutal in our approach to dealing with them.
