Action in Iraq

The argument against putting combat troops in Iraq and Syria is that we have tried that before and the American people are tired of war. Most experts agree that it we want to use combat troops it would have been easier three years ago than it is today. With that kind of reasoning will it be more difficult to control ISIS is we wait longer. If they are left alone they will likely develop a radical state in the area and set up a government. They will then have the where-with-all to plan for their long term goal of a world-wide Caliphate. As the people of the west are tired of war how long will it be before the problem becomes untenable? A few beheadings got everyone upset for a week but now that is gone. When we see movies of these terrorist throwing babies up in the air and catching them on bayonets everyone will get upset for a week or so and that will fade. These people have made it abundantly clear that their plan is for world domination. They will be training suicide bombers and sending them around the world and maybe then people will realize what they are up against but then again maybe everyone will say we are tired of war and just sit back and watch. Taking no action is always easier than acting and most of the time it is politically safer.
