NATO Intervention

[BetterTogether]

There will always be extremists in society whether we allow them to become a cohesive force and rampage around the globe doing untold damage is a separate issue. A single extremist can do some damage but generally not that much in the greater scheme of things, if you allow them to group together and just do as they please then more are attracted to their ideals and it grows and gains momentum.
We can either bite the bullet and degrade them to such an extent they are virtually unable to exsist in any worthwhile form, yes you might still get a few lurking around creating havoc here and there for a while after but eventually they will wither off the vine.

That's very interesting, and I also think it suits their purpose (ISIS, ISIL, whatever) to let the Western world think that. They are terrorists, so what better than to instill terror in people, it suits their agenda. That Assad person must be made of Teflon then because I don't think anybody, clearly including ISIS has got anywhere near him to remove him. But then what, they remove him and then they are running Syria ?
