No they aren't. They are animals that deserve to be put down.
The west is full of pansies, talking about how we can de-radicalize returning ISIL fighters. I say throw them in jail, make an example of them. Realpolitik is what we need. Learn from Machiavelli, the ends justify the means. If castrating and killing a few relatives of ISIL leaders gets them to sit down and shut up, then the means are completely justified.
glad to see you've adopted CIA policy 101
I'm not calling for a genocide. ISIL is committing genocide on the Kurds, it's a legitimate ethnic cleansing. We have the power to stop them right now, but we're too big of bitches and concerned with "looking too brutal" or "potential backlash"
What they want is to drag us into a war of attrition and to use guerrilla tactics to wear us down and win the day. A swift, merciless response is what we need, not boots on the ground. Tell me how Iraq went.
