The centre of ISIL is Raqqa. Whilst its unfortunate -it needs to become a place where life doesn't exist . So rather than small targetted strikes - its more a case for multiple B-52 strikes. We cannot remain in this dream that ISIL have any ideas of meeting at conferences or adopting standards .
If we do not deploy overwelming force - they will become a continual threat
to the Middle East and the West.
This is the best way to make it clear to any group that this sort of insurgency is futile. How can we sit at the negotiating table with people whose prime aim is to take over the world and impose their "backward ass" ideology. There simply is no room for negotiating. Firm action at an early stage may well be the best solution in the short term.
BUT what really needs looking at is who is funding and supporting these "terror" groups, that is where we need to focus our diplomatic efforts. Some think it is another Kingdom in the region, but as we still need oil there appears to be nothing we can do.....
