So, change the conversation from "attacking a group outside of the US" taking a side on an area we don't know much about in regards to variables, as most of them hate us for our interventionist approach any how. Attacking now merely creates more enemies. I don't really like that idea, and if they escalate further, which I sincerely doubt they can... Then, we have already started preparing ourselves within the country first.
What have they done to us other than small things that happens monthly from the last Administration in greater numbers?
I feel like we're only attacking because of a public outcry of people who don't know enough about the situation to begin with.
Until they themselves reach a state of equilibrium, we can't help them any how other than killing a group or multiple groups giving one ascendancy for probably a year or two before it devolves again.
Besides, fixing things here is a direct response to a threat. A response does not always mean attacking.
I did mention infrastructure, and included fire department and policing. I think that is more important than a military response.
