New Kerry OpEd on ISIS...

[fadedrose]

15. Worth reading

I read the whole article, and some is encouraging.

Next week, Kerry and Hagel will meet with their European counterparts in the NATO summit meeting in Wales, then on to the Middle East. And, the US will hold the presidency of the UN Security Council in September and President Obama will address the Council....

All countries have something they can contribute to defeat ISIS. A war against ISIS is a war against its sponsors. Money is the best weapon against money, so IMO most important is finding the source of the funding. Hapless westerners disenchanted with democracies have become jihadists, and receive food, clothing, weapons, training and sometimes even plane fare to join the jihad.

The world is not and never will be a perfect place, so it's important to understand why these people think they are doing the right thing in joining ISIS. I don't have a clue.

The Times OP-ED by Kerry is a good idea, no doubt part of our strategy. The Times is read worldwide and hopefully, will help garner the support of the UN, NATO and other global organizations, and actions will be taken to stop the flow of money to ISIS. I heard somewhere that Saudi Arabia is a benefactor.(?)

Thanks for posting the link.
