And again, why is it specifically our (the west) problem?Why can't countries in the region (who in theory are at direct risk to ISIS) do it? You'd think everyone is disgusted by it, so why can't they handle it? Probably because based of the past, they expect the west to handle it. We need to change that cycle and let them handle their own regional problems. Especially since the western presence fuels jihad recruitment.

It just doesn't feel right to do nothing. I'm no expert on the matter, and I know that intervention gives the extremists further ammunition and recruiting power, but it just doesn't feel right.
It's odd how wealthy nations continually build up their military and arms, spending exorbitant amounts of dollars, yet can't wipe-out what amounts to basically a very large gang of horny men the middle of some ####ing desert.
