What should be done?

Bomb the hell out of the Syrians? Surely they have suffered enough.

Iraq III? Maybe this time.... maybe....

Send the ground troops into Saudi? Quatar?

Acknowledging that some of ISIS / Al-Qaeda gripes do have some merit, stop interfering in other countries affairs, stop propping up dictators because they are "our" dictator.

Something else?

Unfortunately for the Syrians, my money is on bomb the hell out of them, trying to limit the number of "collataral damage" of dead women and kids, but hey, not our fault.

And so we go round the merry go round again.

Well we can either change foreign policy and start a long road to trying to repair the damage done, bomb more, start another ineffective war, or somehow get the blessing of Russia and bring the full weight of the (actually fully committed and mobilized) western world down on Isis and everyone else who fucks with us.

Now obviously option 1 is probably the best approach, option 2 is the most likely, and option 4 is the one that is appealing in the wake of hundreds of innocent people dying.
