| #6 Radical muslims will be easy to deal with once society has finally had enough and decides its a war. Until then finding a way to get them out of our midst would be helpful. Saudi's used to convince their radicals to fight Soviets in Afghanistan, and lately to fight alongside ISIS before it was ISIS. I think we should follow a similar plan. |

| #5 Or will a Sunni-Shiite meltdown put an end to it? I'm betting that they are both waiting for some "outsider" to come in so they can rant, rage, and seethe about the evil infidels sullying the land. Of course, there was the conflict between Iraq and Iran in the 1980s--basically, Baathists vs. Shia. |

| #4 So it's taken a hundred years of history to create ISIS. Will the rest of the world deal with them before they reach the Gates of Vienna? Or will a Sunni-Shiite meltdown put an end to it? |

| #3 "Barbarians" seems to capture the Islamists. We will have to deal with them at some time unless the Muslims (Egypt, SA, Persian Gulf States, Jordan, Iraq) decide to take care of the ISIS problem. It is doubtful that is going to happen. |

| #2 Absolutely nails it. But he leaves out the same detail that everyone else does - that if the Islamists can't recreate the Caliphate, they want to take the rest of the world down with them. Mike |
