ORIGINAL: kdsub It is a mess and a human tragedy... Imagine the cost to those countries to maintain these camps... There are just no easy answers. Myself... getting into more trouble...believe the only answer is to force Muslim nations in the region to raise an army and with the support of Europe... the US...and Russia..defeat radicalism in the Middle East and restore functioning governments in the region. Then repatriate the refugees. Butch What is it with this repeated simplistic bullshit....... The Middle east is in turmoil, Sunni versus Shia. The Gulf States and the Saudis will do nothing to help the Shia, despite your fantasy notion that they will. Infact they seem to be fighting the Houthi in Yemen, who the west have labelled as AQ despite AQ being a Sunni organisation. The Russians are just beinng Russian and backing thier man Assad. The turks have decided to "join the fight against IS" but are only attacking the Kurds. As I said before, and you ignored, the US have just done a major arms deal with the Saudis, you wont do fuck all to jeopardise that, no matter which party leads congress. One question that hasn't been asked thus far in this thread is where does IS get its supplies from? We know it exports oil through Turkey and obtains funds to keep its war machine operating. The only feasible supply line for IS is through Turkey and its porous borders with Syria. This piece in the UK Guardian is essential reading: http://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2015/nov/18/turkey-cut-islamic-state-supply-lines-erdogan-isis Cutting IS's supply lines would starve it of the war materials it desperately needs to maintain its belligerence, and completely encircle IS. IOW it would spell doom for IS and its collapse would only be a matter of time. Turkey is a nominal Western ally and NATO member. Turkey's efforts have been directed at destroying Kurdish military and political strength, and there are dark rumours of Turkish complicity in IS's savage suicide attacks against pro-Kurdish political rallies which resulted in hundreds of civilian deaths. Why aren't IS's supply lines through Turkey being cut?
