What point? The point that the Shiites have, at this point, abandoned the fight? That's a fact. Like the Senator said, there's no point in helping people who don't even want to stand for their country. If they are willing to fight, sure, let's support them.

由b0t編輯： 6/23/2014 2:43:03 AMWell, my response to this would be the last paragraph of Sen Paul's response in the OP. I think his prediction is accurate. If ISIS does manage to take Baghdad, which I don't think they will, considering how unpopular they are, then and maybe then, we should be worried about them being a national security threat. But as of now, it's a civil war that those people need to overcome, and I believe they will. Just my opinion, please just respect it.

They won't be able to take Baghdad so don't worry about that. However, if the Iraqi military and government does not act soon enough to improve relations with Sunni's, ISIS will probably consolidate control of Sunni areas. The plus side to this is that ISIS is now facing a three-front war and probably cannot manage to handle it for long. Secondly, ISIS poses a threat right now. As I said in my wall: [quote]He is right we don't have to nor need to send troops back to Iraq. However, ISIS does pose more of a threat to the United States than what he's saying. They have stated their intention of attacking us and our interests in the region. It should be noted that historically speaking, almost every single al-Qaeda organization has focused more funds and attention on local or regional conflicts. Yet, AQAP, AQ Central, and the TTP have all attempted (Central has succeeded) attacking us in the mainland. They have always been more concerned with the near enemy than the far enemy, with diverting funds and attention to attacking the far enemy when needed. For instance, a good portion of the 9/11 hijackers were being trained in Afghanistan to go to Chechnya. So, while ISIS is indeed focused on Syria and Iraq right now, that doesn't mean that they aren't a threat to us. [/quote] They will overcome it whenever a new, more inclusive government and relations with Sunni's and Kurds are more united with the government. A new Sahwa movement will also have to happen inside Sunni areas; something that won't happen so long as Sunni's see ISIS in a positive light.
