When is the rest of the world going to wake up and destroy IS

If you agree that the west has just been making matters worse by all the invasions and bombings, then what do you suggest is the solution?

While I agree the west has a tendancy to cockup the middle east with their interventions I think IS will only be destroyed by a unilateral force consisting of the West, Russia and China overseen by the UN.

They first need to be destroyed in their strongholds in Syria, Iraq and Libya. The African countries such as Kenya and Somalia would then need to be tackled.

I appreciate IS has many 'heads' but they need to be halted in their takeover of land first, then the counterterrorism part can be put into place, again with with greater cooperation between the west, russia and china.

I also think that Saudi Arabia and Pakistan as the biggest state sponsors of Sunni Islamic Terrorism need to be brought into line by the west as they are obviously playing both sides for their own ends.

Any ideas how that might be achieved?

Are you suggesting more wars?

more likely by sanctions. tbh with the dependance on oil being what it is this is unlikely but i really fail to see why pakistan is so highly regarded by the US.

IS want to establish an islamic state somewhere. Why don't we let them, we'll ship them over even along with any sympathisers, give them a thousand virgins or whatever it is they want as a bonus. Then drop a few Tsar bombs on them and we rid the world of a cancer that will be even worse than the nazis.

So basically, your solution is World War 3.

Fantastic.

So why didn't you say that in your first post?
I still can't work out whether this is a praise, vent or warning.
I don't think it's any of them.

I find the reference to brain tumour quite offensive.

I take it you weren't around when they invented sarcasm? if you were the first part of my sentence in reply to that poster was said with a large spoon of it.

I'm glad your post with the offensive reference has been removed.

Maybe you'd like to remove your post where you have quoted me too....

Nah, I'd rather not.
