    I'm with you on this. If the US and other powerful countries don't take a stand against these terrorists, the world might be ruled by dictatorship and manipulation. Let's not forget that ISIS has been recruiting and training members from different parts of the world.

    I have heard that there are other Jihadist organizations that are planning to start a war against ISIS. Which is basically saying that one dangerous organization that hates America is trying to take out another dangerous organization that hates America.

    Do you really think that the next in line as going to be any less crazy? Won't matter who is at the top, anyone even close to being high in their hierarchy (the little they have) is most definitely completely insane.

    Baghdadi's replacement might even be more savage than him. How else do you prove that you'll not let anyone question your authority? You prove to them practically that you are more callous than your predecessor. When ISIS gets a new leader, there'll be more beheadings, executions and the like. Any terrorist who questions the new "Caliph's" authority will be dealt with thusly.

    I agree. We know at previous actions what this group will do in what they see is just. The next in line will uphold with what has already been set, and there is a potential for him to be even worse. We just don't know on how at what new levels he will take it to.

    There is already another person ready to take his place, and that is what sucks about ISIS. They are surprisingly deep.

    You can't just blow this problem up, when we invaded places like Afghanistan we are only creating this problem.
    The root cause of ISIS is two-fold:
    1) Poverty and lack of opportunities for young men, which is exploited by
    2) Power hungry war-lords with deep pockets.

    The more we attack these countries, the more we destroy their economies the MORE powerful groups like ISIS get.
    I am 100% for military intervention, but it HAS to be coupled with nation building.

    First of all and like it has happened in the past, we are dealing with a problem that we created ourselves. Sure we need to stand against ISIS, but at the same time we should not be arming more groups and creating future ISIS.

    We cannot afford to build nations these days. We can perhaps help them get on their feet and find their direction, but we cannot support them.
