Patrick Cockburn, How to Ensure a Thriving Caliphate

[brer cat]

1. Your comments at the end

are why I oppose intervention in civil wars in other countries...how do we know exactly who we are supporting. That said, I do generally support intervention to stop genocide...if we are going to pay for the biggest, baddest military in the world, then at least use it to save innocent people from slaughter. The tricky part is how to do that without boots on the ground and collateral damage. I am not sure we can stop ISIS without both of them.

Thank you for the post, Sam.
