I am not a violent nor would I normally encourage in recent times, I am firmly in the blow them to Kingdom come camp...
So called IS will never back down, theu will most likely never look for peace, they are merciless, they play by no international Law, so why should we show them any mercy...
I agree that innocent people would die, but War is War and there always be some collateral damage.
As IS wont negotiate how else can they be dealt with, it would probably not done with diplomacy...So
Could it be dealt with by
1. Stopping Reugees/Migrants getting anywhere Europe, through closing border
2. The EU drop Schengen, close it off and have it heavily guarded
3. Something like a Berlin Wall around Eastern/Southen European Borders
4. Send in SAS or Seal Teams to Syria and go for a decapitation strike on IS...
I really dont know, I would prefer not to see all out War, that may end up being the last resort...
How many more has to die before all out, unmerciful, unrelenting bombong on IS, we have seen Western Hostages being murdered, we had the Charlie Hebdo attack and now this, is it not about time someone says 'enough is enough'
According to Frank Gardner of the BBC, it looks like the attackers were from a self-contained cell.
Whilst some were foreigners, at least one of the attackers were French.
I keep bringing up the Irish and IRA - but I would argue sending troops into Ulster, wasn't much of a magic wand. 30 years of troops, conflict and death before any peace accord was signed.
We all know there is still those separate groups, they still pose a threat and bombs are still being planted.
This was 60 years or so since the bother in Dublin.
In my opinion, you need to get to the root or the source of funding. Stop the flow of money, destroy their fuel supplies and stop the flow of weapons.
I have no idea on the most effective way of doing that.
Going back to the IRA again, the funding dried up compared to what it was and the source of weapons did too.
The opinions held by some people may not have changed.
They don't cause as much damage or death though.
Blowing Raqqa to smithereens isn't going to change the opinions held by the extremists. I think it will fuel them.
