#3 What needs be done has been said. There needs to be a quiet bloodbath in some rich homes in Qatar, Riyahd, and Istanbul, with one or two very public bullet-to-head strikes pour encourager les aitres. Accompanied by a very loud and violent, no quarters battle in Sunni areas of Iraq and Syria. Kill the head and beat the thrashing body of this snake until it stops moving.

We need to impose consequences on the financiers. Permanent and severe consequences.

<tinfoil hat>
Is ISIS a manufactured distraction for the West, buying Iran the time needed for nuclear breakout?
</tinfoil hat>

Even if there's no such conspiracy, isn't an aggressive, openly hostile somewhat stable islamofascistic regime with nuclear tipped ballistic missile capability a far bigger threat than 'ISIS'?

What would be easier to undo, an ISIS conquest of additional Syrian and Iraqi territories or Iran's new nuclear weaponry?

I'm not trying to defend ISIS, I just don't understand the priorities.
