2. I'd like to think that Sanders and Warren (and possibly Clinton) are seeing things we aren't

I know many are skeptical about the IS threat but maybe they're seeing things (secret things) that the public isn't aware of. Maybe we should consider that we need to deal with IS militarily because we don't yet have all the facts.

I'm certainly not beating the war drum, I'm as much for peace as most on this board but to think that we live in a society that can do without war is naive. Sadly, there will always be war--it's how we go about war that matters, I think.
