The right thing to do would have been for western powers to not start meddling in the region 100 years ago. Now would be a good time to stop meddling. Better late than never, I guess.

Right, as ISIS literally butchers thousands of innocents - now, that's the good time to stop.

it really sucks, but yes, at least when it comes to bombing. Do whatever we can with humanitarian aid.

You realize ISIS is advancing on a town with an American consulate, right? And that's what prompted our dithering weakling to finally take some action? "Humanitarian aid" is all well and good, but only so effective without military intervention. See Gaza. And that doesn't mean we need a massive ground incursion every time we need to "be the world police." Sometimes a few well-placed cruise missles are just what the doctor ordered.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, K-State fans could have beheaded the entire KU team at midcourt, and K-State fans would be celebrating it this morning.  They are the ISIS of Big 12 fanbases.

Great, let's get the Americans out of there.

Just curious, what have a few well-placed cruise missles accomplished in the Middle East in the past?

I liked how we dropped the food and supplies to the people stranded on the mountain. I'm not very big on the bombing, but it was nice to see us do the right thing for those other people.

It's hard to say, since we don't know what the region would look like had Hussein conquered them.

The best thing that could happen to that region is if their oil dried up.  Then the rest of the world would cease to GAF about them and let them about their business without interference, Darfur style.

Are you asking me for specific examples of what specific attacks were foiled by vaporizing terrorists? I'll have to get back to you on that once I finish my "let's prove a negative by traveling back in time to not kill terrorists and see what ends up happening" machine. Does anyone have any plutonium I can borrow?

Yeah, we're kidding ourselves if we think this is about "terrorism" or innocent local civilians. Our policy and presence in the Middle East has always been all about oil.

The case can be made that we made ISIS who they are today.   

Honestly, just like with Iraq, the policies this current administration had towards Libya and Syria are proving to be a long term disaster.

I'm not sure how anyone could really argue that, unless you want to go back further to the British Mandate and associated fallout.

If there isn't already (and I think there are), there needs to be U.S. military advisers working with the Kurds at all times, intelligence assets need to be assigned full time to helping the Kurds, and we need to be supplying and arming the Kurds to the hilt so they can protect themselves against these guys.
