Pray tell the consequences for Australia if we don't be 'adventurous'?
You seem to suggest that if we just leave them alone they'll waste all their energy on the US/UK and 'we'll be right mate'.
I'm suggesting that if there was ever a good reason to send Australians overseas to fight, this is it. This 'group' is as lawless, violent, brutal, and morally obscene as any regime in modern history. At least Amin, Pol Pot and their ilk generally only had local designs, and their slaughter followed accordingly. This vermin kill for fun, and want to spread it everywhere.
They need to be eradicated now at all cost. The longer it takes, the harder its going to be. But it has to happen eventually...the behaviour is intolerable to a civilised world.
You can't sit on your hands on this one mate, regardless of politics.
