The only solution to a bad idea is a better idea that works. I don't see how we can offer ISIS recruits that. All we can really do is what we are doing. This too will pass, in time.

ok Koan- we've done that before. We aren't good at picking the "good guys". And we invariably put guns in the hands of people who end up pointing them at us. Remember Reagan- and how much he loved those guys who were the moral equivalent of our founding fathers? How about we stay out of other regions we know little about? How about we control our hubris, and have some patience? We need to guard our own borders, and stay out of other countries' affairs as much as possible.
