Although I hate ISIS...it is amusing watching Iran's world fall apart!

The US has proven that it cannot do this. I don't think that anyone could invade Syria, put an end to Isis and leave a peaceful and stable Syria behind.

Perhaps they can assist the locals in doing away with Isis, but any sort of invasion will mostly just leave even more weapons behind for the various remaining factions to play with after we leave. Because we must eventually leave.

Whatever the threat posed by Isis is, it is not the threat of Big Government. They will not be trying to add the US to their Caliphate.

   I think we have proven tht we can depose that sort of government in weeks, but that afterwards we feel too compelled to fix what we have broken.

     Next time lets break and run.

    Will there be a next time ?

    Assuredly adding all the world to the caliphate is the agenda of Isis.

That will not work. of course. Isis does not know how to actually run a country. So far all they have done is to loot and pillage, and this is a very limited way and will not work for even a year.

The first caliphates did not even last a century. All attempts to reinstate caliphates have failed. They are likely to be as successful as attempts to make the whole world Christian, Communist, or vegetarian.
