ISIL is just a nuisance, a bag of wasps wreaking havoc, but a bag nonetheless. We don't need to "defeat" ISIL, because there's nothing to defeat. Throw another few trillion dollars into conquering territory in Iraq? It's been pretty popular in the past few decades, but the ideology of extreme sunni sharia law can't be bombed out of existence. ISIL doesn't pose a threat to our nation, only to western interests in the area, which sucks, but we're not going to go start trying to "kill them all", bush style. They'll either solidify their gains and ingratiate themselves in the lands they have, or the movement will peter out when the muslims get bored and convert to judaism. Let's remember guys, WW2 was the civil war of the west, and we're still enjoying the geopolitical and economic advantages of having a pristine country of factories churning out cheverolets and selling them to places who were recently bombed to oblivion. Nukes, aircraft carriers, air supremacy, and guided missiles are the true bastions of western society, bastions that will always trump terror.
