The media has found a gold mine of ad revenue and viewer share in race-baiting. They simply can't turn outrage half way around the world into a buck as cheaply and easily.
Amen to that. I think we should be wiping these POS's off the face of the Earth. I believe they are simply psychopathic murderers who hide behind a great religion and pervert it's teachings as justification for its actions.
Who is "we?" The US? What exactly are you proposing?
Yes, the US military. ISIS, or ISIL if you prefer, is practicing genocide based on religious beliefs. They are more vicious and barbaric than the Taliban, or Al Qaeda, Hamas, Boko Haram, etc.
I believe we helped to get Iraq to this point in time and Iraq's military is either frightened enough of ISIL to run away, or in league with them, so there is no stopping the genocide. Syria, Turkey, and the Kurds are also besieged by this group. This is not unlike the Nazis "Final Solution". They need to be stopped. Now. So we currently have a "damned if [he] doesn't." If we do intervene on the scale you're suggesting, do you think your team will still be supporting that decision heading towards November 2016?
Are you suggesting something other than long term occupation of Iraq?
