I don’t agree.
Why get into a war defending one group of Muslims from another group of Muslims.
No matter which group of Muslims comes out on top, they will persecute the other group. This has been the pattern for over 1,000 years.
That, plus there is no definable ‘ISIS’.
It’s a constantly changing set of allegiances, tribal and sectarian. You can’t isolate them well enough to neutralize them. It’s a religious ideology that has its own momentum that can’t be stopped by surgically killing a few hundred or even a few thousand ‘fighters’. There will instantly be more and this can go on for centuries.
Let other Muslims solve their own Muslim problems internally.
What we can do is contain them in their own lands and keep them out of ours as much as possible. Let them fight it out among themselves. They only want the West involved because one clan or sect thinks the West will help them beat the other clan or sect.
Since we are mostly not Muslims, we don’t have an interest in which clan or sect prevails in any particular geographic region in any particular time frame. Look at the 1,000+ year history of this conflict. It’s not ‘winnable’ even if we cared which sect of Islam wins.
Not our fight.
If we did go in there and ‘win’, we’d have to stay there for decades if not centuries to keep the peace ... meanwhile more of our non-Muslim military people die to keep one group of Muslims from the throats of another group of Muslims.
I pray that someone sensible will give Trump a history book and he will read it. I know Trump likes to win, but there is nothing to ‘win’ fighting for Muslims.
Amen
