So, do you support the US and/or NATO invading Syria and sending in ground forces? Or, do you think we should airstrike and just accept that there will likely be a lot of unintended casualties in the process?
If we go in boots on the ground, unless the US and its allies change their previous positions in regards to Assad's regime, we'll be targeting IS but also facing combat with the Syrian military and a bunch of other terrorist groups who are in the midst of their own war for power amid the country's civil war.
Those are serious questions -- I'm interested in what you and others think can or should be done. I've thought a lot about it and wanna see those IS fuckers stomped. For me -- considering all of the surrounding factors -- it's a very tricky situation where the costs of each option that I can imagine might well exceed the gain both short and long term.
