The Islamic State has already “seized far more of Iraq and Syria than is compatible with the safety and human rights of the people living there, and its sights are set on further destabilization in Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Kurdistan, as well as terror attacks in Europe and, if it’s capable of them, the United States.” It is delusional to think this “murderous terrorist army” can simply be “contained” or “managed.”
