When I was 18, I saw friends join cults. Unless they were following Manson or Jim Jones, it was mostly harmless. Unfortunately today some of those people join jihadist movements. As long as they can believe there is a successful movement to create this Islamic Caliphate or Islamic State, some misguided people will follow the cause. Probably the attackers in Paris were a mix of foreigners and locals. With millions of citizens, it only takes a tiny percent of misguided local people to cause a lot of death and destruction.
So from that perspective, Jaime may be right. If you can defeat the power and territory grab of ISIS in Syrai and Iraq, maybe fewer people will see them as a successful movement to be followed, and there will be fewer home grown terrorists. We’ll see if words translate to actions. Has Jordan followed through on their talk of all out war on ISIS after their pilot was burned alive in a cage? So far the only group that seems to consistently be willing to take action against ISIS is the Kurds.

How do you kill them without taking out everyone else. That is the problem we have had all along. Door-to-door warfare is all that you can do but it’s also the most dangerous for our soldiers and nobody is going to allow wholesale bombing like Nixon did in Vietnam. We also burned a lot of good will in all the countries we need to do this with when we got the local civilians to act as translators and informants and abandoned them after the war, the highest profile of them the doctor in Pakistan. Even he is still in jail years later but the reality is, nobody trusts us any more in those regions. We are not a reliable ally.
