How much force will you support in dealing with the Islamic State threat to the U.S.?

I support the President’s plan to build a global coalition of nations to affect a long-term approach to degrading and defeating the capabilities of ISIL to conquer, murder, rape and enslave peoples in the Middle East, or to launch broader-based attacks.  We have not stopped the War on Terror, instituted by previous administrations, no matter what names the perpetrators go by.  We cannot sit on the sidelines while perverted terrorists continue to overtake nations, like Hitler and his marauding hordes did seven decades ago.  We do NOT want U.S. boots on the ground!  We can continue surveillance by CIA and Special Forces, drone and airstrikes, strengthening Iraq and training moderate Syrian rebels to take on ISIL.  If this is not done, ISIL will overrun those countries and others.  Many nations are now coming together to form military campaigns to do those things and to offer humanitarian assistance, to help dry up the sources of income for ISIL, to stop foreign fighters from joining their twisted cult, and to stop them from becoming a bigger threat to the world.  There are many international issues at stake today, and there are complex cultures whose end goals do not match ours.  The countries in the Mid-East and Europe need to make their commitments to this comprehensive strategy against ISIL.  And for all those who believe in the power of prayer, employ yours DAILY for world peace.  It’s no small contribution!
