"I'm arguing that, if you don't want to be on the receiving end of terrorist attacks from ISIS, the best way to do that is to stop bombing them."
Thus validating the terrorists' approach. They use fear as a means of control and, according to your argument, it is an effective approach. I don't know what the answer is, but I do not think that allowing marauders to wander around the world staking claim to peoples' land is acceptable. Much less when they commit so many atrocities along the way.
If the choice is to: a) stop bombing and be hopeful that the terrorists will go away or b) try to stop the raping, murdering, and other atrocities via violence... I know where I stand.

How many American citizens and soldiers have died or been severely injured in the meantime? You may know where you stand, but dollars to donuts you don't know what your government is doing in your name. I'm not "blaming America first." I'm asking that we behave like adults and take responsibility for the consequences of our behavior.
