The ISIS thugs are on the same level as the hard-core Nazis, but don't presently have the capacity to do global harm.
Oh.. given their stated aims and the methods by which they have demonstrated their willingness to carry them out, they are WORSE than the Nazis.

And they are MUCH better financed and equipped than Bin Laden's Al Qaida ever was..

That said, I want to see regional gov'ts work together to deal with the threat, with the US remaining in the background providing support, ammunition, advising.. etc..

I don't want us doing Iran's dirty work, only to see Iraq return to even greater control by Iran over Iraq's Shi'a Arabs.

I want to see the Anbar tribal leaders rise up (again) against ISIS, as they did against Zarqawi's predecessor group back in 2005-6. But they require the motivation by the Shi'a majority gov't of Iraq to do so.

We have too many potential flash points that might require a major US presence (Europe, Asia.. etc) for us to send 100K soldiers to Iraq again..
