I hope they listen to you instead of me. Happy?
If the truth is really known, most of those who have went to fight are from the area or around originally. They were brought here as refugees or their parents were, sad that anyone with an American visa is considered American. Even more disturbing is CNN and it's viewers support this notion of them ALL being Americans for ISIS.

Too bad we can't find a iron fisted dictator who could be motivated by money/power, rather than the Quran, who wouldn't tolerate these insurgents in his country & wouldn't buddy up with Iran. Oh that's right, there was one named Saddam Hussein, but we murdered him. Maybe we could find one in Libya? Of I forgot, they had one named Gaddafi but we armed & trained ISIS, who filmed themselves stabbing his anus, then tethered him to the grill of a truck & ran him over. There's still a guy like that in Syria named Assad & a couple months ago many otherwise intelligent people wanted him murdered as well. One thing that should be clear by now is that the world is better of with the crazed dictator we know, than the Jihadists we don't.

Too bad we can't find an honest good natured but stern person who is motivated by peace, equality, freedom, and stability to lead x country.

Ally with Assad, and instigate, propagate, and help the Marxist-Ba'athist counte rebels in Iraq who would ally with Assad after the dust settles, and who would initiate a much needed revolution in those terribly backwards societies. Assad is already partly there, him being a Socialist

I assume you wouldnt stop and help a woman getting beat by a man on the street as it is not your problem.

But anyways here is your enlightenment,

Right vs. Wrong

Principle

Helping

Justice

etc etc

Was a quote once that read something like "with great power comes much responsibility".

Countries like Saudi Arabia, Iran, Syria, Turkey and even China and India stand to get buggered if IS becomes stronger. Convince them to create a coalition force to go after IS.

U.S can facilitate the formation of this coalition and perhaps share intelligence but offer no troops.
IS is indubitably a problem but it needs to be sorted out principally by the aforementioned countries.
