November 15, 201510 yr Japan has been at peace with the world since September of 1945. Peace ONLY comes after victory.
November 15, 201510 yr Peace ONLY comes after victory. Unfortunately, a lot of Americans have forgotten this.
November 15, 201510 yr Does Congress not matter? Absolutely, but I fear they are as inept as the White House.
November 15, 201510 yr Japan was/is a country. ISIS is not. That is only one of several circumstances that makes this a different situation which requires a difference solution.

November 15, 201510 yr Does Congress not matter? All our Congressmen, Republican and Democrat alike, decided long ago that what they really wanted to do was avoid making difficult choices. Instead, they've ceded ever more to the executive office.
November 15, 201510 yr Kinda hard to go blast ISIS away when we're aiding them and their allies in Syria.
November 15, 201510 yr Seriously though, I'm in favor of ISIS being militarily destroyed, but it should be Arab boots -- Qatar, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Iraq etc -- and EU countries that could be affected, like France, Germany, England. In no way am I in favor of sending more US troops for another 20 year war. First things first: quit trying to undermine Bashar al-Assad (and Putin for that matter) from destroying ISIS in Syria. A no-fly zone was a hot topic in the GOP debates. Some candidates have since made comments about shooting Russian planes (which would presumably be bombing ISIS and affiliates) if they don't abide by the proposed no-fly zone. Insane.

November 15, 201510 yr French fighter jets bombed a series of ISIS sites in Raqqa, Syria, on Sunday in what officials described as a major bombardment. The targets included a command center, a recruitment center, an ammunition storage base and a training camp for the terror group, said Mickael Soria, press adviser for France's defense minister.
November 15, 201510 yr 10 French fighters went on a powerful one hour raid. I don't believe our president would have responded this quickly.
November 15, 201510 yr How can you kill who you don't know is ISIS Example: the boy who stabbed the students in collge a few weeks ago wasn't in ISIS but inspired by them Something big will be done in America very soon, probably on a Black Friday sale or Christmas
November 16, 201510 yr What exactly is ISIS and how, despite so many things lined up against them, did they manage to exist at all? Great article on the history of ISIS and the founder of its movement in the New York Review. The Mystery of ISIS: New York Review/
November 17, 201510 yr Author What exactly is ISIS and how, despite so many things lined up against them, did they manage to exist at all? Great article on the history of ISIS and the founder of its movement in the New York Review. The Mystery of ISIS: New York Review/ That is a good article. Did you read the link to the article in The Atlantic? That article suggested that much of the bewildering aspects are due to portions in the Koran. This link you posted, and the atlantic one, are the two best articles I have read.
