So from seeing it firsthand, would you agree that in 100 years from now, we will all be under Shiaa law and wave black/white flags or ISIS or other group will eventually form/merge?
If our political system forbids us from going eye for eye (disclaimer: Im not for it), then is there really any way to win without it costing US taxpayers large chunk of their money?
- dforrestwilson1 11y agoI don't know that money has ever been the issue. What we seem to lack is real conviction to fight the ideologies supporting ISIS. The real problem is the Gulf States. Wahhabism is a very similar strain of Islam to what ISIS believes. That's a unique threat to the Gulf monarchies, and they are vulnerable to a theological insurgency until they figure out how to pivot from an intolerant oil sheikh culture to a diversified merit-driven economy. 100 years is a long time, but I think as a country we're clinging to an unsustainable Middle Eastern policy and until that changes I am skeptical that we beat back the ideology, and by extension the violence that it encourages.
