I like how you are one of the few people that say we need to
get more involved instead of being more pacifistic. I believe the US, being the
policing country it likes to be, has to make a strong decision on what needs to
be done over there. On one hand we can do nothing and let the region balance
itself out. That may result with our enemy eventually gaining power in the region
thus allowing them to accomplish their hateful goals towards the west. On the
other hand, we can plan ahead how we are going to prevent that from happening
by getting involved in the least detrimental way possible in terms of lives and
resources.
One thing the media fails to mention is what causes the ISIS
to fight. You have to wonder why any organization would provoke world powers
such as Russia or the West to eradicate them off the face of this earth. This
can be explained in a prophecy that was foretold by their prophet Muhammad.
Like a holy story out of the bible, they believe that they must wage war with the
Romans (Christians or 'nonbelievers') and end their holy war at a fateful
showdown at the city of Dabiq. Muhammad predicts when this happens, Jesus will
come down from heaven and rid the world of all non-believers, in turn beginning
a new world nation of Islam. This extremist viewpoint is what has given ISIS so
much power to wage war in the name of jihad.
With this bit of knowledge in mind, we can see that these
extreme jihadists have only one end goal in mind and that is to rid the world
of non-Muslims or die trying. It begs the question, what should we decide on as a
nation to do with these malicious individuals.
