My take: 1. Have congress declare war on ISIS. 2. Make a new pact with the dictator of Syria (Russia can help with this) 3. Make it clear all states that sponsor Terrorism will be our enemies and face atomic destruction if they defy us or our allies. 4. Drop all aid to nations that are terrorist. 5. Tax all mosques in the USA. 6. Kick out all Islamic people from the army, Navy and Marines (once we did this to Communists—remember).7. Arrest all radical imans in the USA for Treason and helping the enemy. 8. Kill everyone it Gitmo. 9. Use nuclear weapons on Training camps in Yemen.

Syria is the enemy and Assad et al must be dead before there can be change

It's all good and well to propose these things, most of which I agree with. However, the track record isn't good.

Consider our actual response to a massively greater attack than the recent events in France, namely the 9-11-01 attacks:

• Launch two costly wars that achieve zero strategic goals (despite some tactical successes, such as the OBL killing).
• Impose surveillance state on U.S. citizens.
• Massively increase Islamic immigration into our homeland.
