In America we would have businesses popping up all over with little regulation and low taxes. In the somewhat similar way Isis rewards the Isis business by making growth easy with little restrictions on how they get it done. Their competition (which is the civilized world) handcuffs itself with far higher moral restrictions while fighting back rendering the more civilized nation defenseless.
At some point this will go from a MANAGED situation to a war that needs winning at all costs and then we will be in a better place to win these barbarians.

It seems that leftist presidents always leave the world in worse shall than when they took office.
Rapid shifts from front to front were used effectively by the German Empire during WWII, and overwhelming firepower meant they ate up the Czar's armies, freeing something like 50 divisions from the eastern front and bringing them to bear against the west. The US entered the First World War not a moment too soon. Learning that lesson, the Germans wrapped up the western front before opening the eastern front. If they had fought a third one, they'd have learned that opening the eastern front isn't that great an idea in the first place, but hey, only Napoleon, and the army of the classical Persian Empire made the same mistake before. Humans are such slow learners. Thanks Biggirl.
I wonder what it would take to put that part of the world back to the pre Obama state?
