will affect the US economy either directly or indirectly if the Obama administration sits back and do nothing. In taking the war to them you ( should also mention that I'm not in favor of bombing as it solves nothing) succeed by isolating the troublemakers in the region, find the culprits responsible for such inane actions which we've seen from them and help with the stability of the region, all this should be done with the help of our allies in the region.

On the issue of

What have they done to us other than small things that happens monthly from the last Administration in greater numbers?

The answer to this question will be based on ones perspective, the issue of terror is not for one to wait till it falls on our doorstep before taking action, you address terror by taking actions on the small things that you mentioned they have done to prevent them from becoming major threat in the future.

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.

Yes it is a possibility that the administration is taking action based on public out cry, obviously the reason behind this out cry came from the beheading of two Americans in Syria. What this shows however, is that this terrorist group is operating from the same rules applied by Al-Qaeda which tells me that the players in the dark alley are the same guys who orchestrated and supported Al-Qaeda. On the issue of help, no one wants another 911 to occur therefore you take actions to prevent another disaster.
