But what are your thoughts on the (IMO) very valid criticism of the strategy that engaging in warfare only breeds more of these people and problems and entrenches the hate even more?

yeah, its entirely valid. The problem though, is that not engaging them and trying to destroy them, makes them even stronger moving forward....much moreso than leaving them to their own devices.

I think a legitimate question is...at this point would the average Syrian (particularly those being deployed around the globe as refugees right now) object to a world wide and united armed force going into their country
and setting up shop to eliminate not only ISIS but Assad as well?

I think the answer would be heavily in favor of it myself, but perhaps I'm wrong.
