The news clearly shows, they do not. The West still believes Assad has to be removed. After removing the Taliban, Saddam, Gaddafi, why are they still doing the same thing expecting a different result?

Vietnam was a waste of money and lives, for the same result without getting involved.

We must set aside our pacifistic tendencies and go medieval on these terrorists. Capture as many of these assholes as possible and attach them to four Clydesdales going separate directions. Film it and disseminate the footage globally for all to see - with the unmistakable message:

THIS IS HOW WE WILL DEAL WITH TERRORISTS FROM THIS DAY FORWARD.

You can't reason with a bully. They don't understand diplomacy. Bullies only understand and respect force.
Which ones are the better savages to do business with? Look at the people we do business with, China, Saudi, S. America, etc. so picking despots isn't a no go area. We just need to make sure they're our despots. Bomb ISIS supply lines and fighters. This needs boots on the ground to guide missiles in and drones.

The problem is will the Right go in and make a mess of it, or the Left and pussy foot over which nice comfy guy can run the county?

As you point out these savages are like we were in the Middle Ages, watch Vikings or Last Kingdom for a parallel. Small kingdoms that can only be ruled by ruthless corruptible men.

It's something we're able to do. After Tibet and Tiananmen Square, we do more of business with China.
