In normal situations I would agree but ISIS seems to be one of those groups that you just cant reason with to quote another dangerous man you are "either with them or against them" there is no in between.
I will agree that the root causes which have allowed ISIS to come about need to be addressed but ISIS themselves have to be destroyed before any progress will be made.
As for Iraq and Syria I still argue that the best course of action in Iraq is 3 separate provinces based on factional lines with their own local governments from which a federal government is chosen on an equal numbers basis to run the country.
With Syria the west should deal with Assad to help end the civil war as like it or not he is the only one with functioning government that is not riddled with extremists however Assad himself has to go, he can take his family and billions in ill gotten gains and leave peacefully for all I care but he has to go.
I absolutely agree with you which is why the need to be exterminated. But the question still stands is how are these people able to convince young Muslims from countries like the UK to join. ISIS is somehow able to appeal to a dissatisfaction minority. Personally I view ISIS as "Hitler Youth" type movement..brainwashed youngsters talked into acts of extreme violence by a few elders.
And like the Hitler Youth, they are fanatical to the point of being beyond reason. And like a Maddog they must be put down immediately before it spreads more.
