and hundreds more every month in Middle East. What can we do to stop ISIS from brainwashing these people? Injecting a chip inside a human being and terminate the rogue one when one goes bad? But that power can be abused and nobody wants a chip implanted inside their own body. What can we do!?

Stop funding "moderate" rebels. I read a few years ago that the US has trained 10.000 rebels in Jordan and sent them into Syria. Who exactly are these rebels and who are they fighting for right now? Does anybody even know?

  According to http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/syria/11882195/US-trained-Division-30-rebels-betrayed-US-and-hand-weapons-over-to-al-Qaedas-affiliate-https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=yeukhonin-Syria.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/syria/1... there are already trainees betrayed the U.S. and are probably on ISIS side. On the front of Afg and Iraq wars, there have been cases in which U.S. trained Afg and Iraqi soldiers stood by the insurgents. And Saddam Hussein was funded by U.S. to rebel against Iran in the 60s, 70s.

1. Stop screwing with other countries. No false wars, no state engineering, no exporting democracy. 2. Stop protecting the terrorist regime in Saudi Arabia. 3. Stop trying to control the world. There's no hegemony without blowback. 4. Stop being a safe haven for laundered money from the third world (looking at you City of London). Let that money be invested in third world infrastructure. 5. Stop toppling secular dictators. Saddam, Gaddafi, Assad, Bhutto, Mossadegh... spot the pattern here. This needs to stop. Start with these 5, then we'll move on. You are making the mistake of thinking that the US gives a shit about terror, btw. Read about how foreign policy makers (people like Kissinger, Brzezinski, Stowcroft) think. They don't give a shit about blowback, they want to maintain hegemony. Terror is just a useful tool to keep public opinion in check.
