No shit, fuck the birth of Islam! That's the most unimportant event from 1400 years ago that has absolutely no relevancy today.

ISIS is less driven by religious unity, then ritual conformity. It's all about the $$ and rape privileges. Islam is just the excuse the assholes like to use for their behavior.

I'm sorry, the words you posted were extremely stupid. Please hangup and try again.

our direct involvement in the Middle East (propping up some countries while installing/supporting dictators in the others) started to get pretty fucking unbelievable about 60 years ago.

You mean when they joined Hitler and were defeated? Yeah, tough luck.
Interesting enough, Germany lost too, look how that country turned out post-WWII with a little effort to cooperate in a predominantly modern civilized world... well the world outside the communist killing fields.

But then you'd maybe like to blame the US for the crusades, too? You seem to be missing the opportunity here anyway. Seems to be something they still allarh akbar over, even though the world has dramatically changed from those times... well at least the West did heh. Or how about 200 years ago? Interesting enough the founding fathers went to war in the region back then.

Cant seem to escape it. The first part of that book was written first, it was about peace more or less. It failed and his new religion nearly died out. So he tossed in the rest, with blood and war and all of that, and it renders the first obsolete. There are those who follow the first, but mostly in subjection and fear of the second, or to those that follow that among them. No, there will always be war, as it has been, no matter what you do. Surrender will not repair the problem.

No, you're very lost in this discussion. Let me give you a homework assignment:

I think the best answer is that war isnt the answer to terrorism.

is force neccesaey, probly, but war isnt a correct defenition of what this terrorism issue is.

you cant kill poverty, ignorance, fear, and fanatisism.

On a serious note.

ISIS is just a very large multinational gang (with more assets than a lot of 3rd world countries) in a region totally destabilized by war. (proxy or otherwise)

One thing ISIS has going for it that some other gangs in the world don't, is a core of very fanatical and more powerful then the average thug leaders who dole out welfare like candy to people willing to die for stupidshit.

We are partly to blame for that, not 100%, maybe 30% i'd hazzard a "guess". But if we want to eradicate multinational gangs in a war torn and anarchic region. We might try restoring the rule of law and order.

Russians just want Russian law and order, palestine just wants palestinian law and order, murica wants murican (raytheon) rule and order, and isreal... well they want to be left the fuck alone by the gangs which they see as sub human scum and aren't willing to realize that they are part of the problem.

If anything it would probably be in the worlds best interest if the 'Murica totally stabalized the region, but the world also does not want to see that and it's only a "short term" solution and more than likely to get 'Murica put on the chopping block.

so our international policy has evolved into "let's just perpetually bandaid the situation" because it's all we can do without looking mean and crazy and nukes.

Meanwhile the military industrial complex feeds off the dying corpses of Americans and little brown children. So they are not motivated to affect a situation that there is a "Win" from one side or the other. (and good American generals resign or get thrown in jail over the course of a few decades)

Also, the united federation of planets while pretending to prime directive from orbit, would probably really frown if we melted a few hundred million innocents into trinitite. (really probably less than half of the middle eastern population is a problematic demographic)

*** caveat I don't work for the CIA or know anything about the world. So don't take my armchair wold domination theory-crafting literally.
