At what point does a consensus of countries, good men, leaders of righteous good decide that these animals are equal to the Nazi horrors?

Where is the line drawn? What do they have to do to step over the line?

These groups that follow ISIS.....and act in the same vein in countries like Yemen, etc......they are growing unchecked.

Hundreds of missing and enslaved women and girls, widespread executions, debauchereous actions of an inhumane nature forced upon women of different countries do not add up to an equal kind of horror that divided the world in the nineteen forties?

I submit that it does. It is us that has changed. We no longer have the stomach to judge, identify evil and most of all, fight the good fight.

We also lack the leaders necessary to form a righteous coalition of good men to fight this evil that rests comfortably knowing that they face no serious threat. Are there no men left? Only politicians made of dubious qualities that serve only themselves. Where do we find another Churchill?

Blow them up with a nuke. Really block the borders and throw out any one who remotely looks to be a threat.

Do what it takes, BY ANY MEANS.

The parallels with 1930s Germany are strong.
Whatever happens, the power of the presidency must be SEVERELY reduced.

Executive Decisions - ALL of them, must be limited to 90 days for starters.
Making law in NOT the job of the executive branch.

Problem is they're everywhere now. Lost miserable souls read and listen to them on social media. Eight years of poor leadership has made for an easy breeding ground. In most developed countries as well. There really isn't a known solution. You can't analyze and tag everyone over the age of 10.

It probably is going to get worse. I don't see any good options for stopping terrorism.

The U.S. can't just withdraw from the middle east in an attempt to appease isis because #1 -- the U.S. won't, and #2, isis might still order lone wolf attacks on the U.S. even if the U.S. did withdraw.

Option #3 -- war on a very large scale that will last until any potential terrorist loses the will to commit an act of terrorism.

The U.S. bombed the hell out of Vietnam and couldn't break their will.

Islamic terrorists are all over the globe. It isn't clear if a traditional army in a traditional war can defeat such a dispersed enemy.

Option #4 -- Nuclear bombs. Japan is a relatively small country and the enemy was almost completely on the island, so nukes worked there. I don't know much about the use of nukes, but I can imagine it would not be a popular choice to use them. I don't even know if it is practical.

What options remain? Genocide? It would almost take some sort of act of genocide to rid the world of enough Muslims that the remaining ones lost their will to fight. I don't see that happening.

It isn't feasible to force Muslims to leave western countries. Some of them are married to non-Muslims. Not all Muslims are terrorists. How would you go about vetting all of them?

Acts of Islamic terrorism will probably be with us for many years to come.

I wrote in the preceding post that it would not be possible for every Muslim to be vetted.

Newt Gingrich thinks otherwise. Maybe he has a point?

Sharia law is incompatible with U.S. law and you can't serve two masters. So if you can't follow U.S. law then you must be deported.

The U.S. system only works when everyone buys in.

I heard a Democrat on radio today say he will ask the president for 50k troops to send into the caliphate. He wanted 50k more from NATO.

Talk about too late.........

Better late I guess

The past can't be fixed. What is the best solution going forward?

Quite awhile back I thought a strong military presence by our troops was necessary and would make s big difference. I don't anymore because the enemy is too broad and taken on character changes. As Ralph said, it's simply too late. Without fully understanding the the psychology that drives evilness into the minds of those that join, the enemy will always exist.

I agree with that 100%

Like Saddam Hussein, who has direct lines to Hitler, did to his own people.
