Attacking another country and taking [including large numbers of civilian] lives without an internationally agreed plan of what we wish to achieve, how – even if we were successful – we would fill the institutional, political and religious vacuum, how we would build a lasting peace and what our exit strategy should be, would be to rerun and amplify the mistakes we have made in the last decade in the region.

We will ontinue to root out terrorist networks.
So far, most Western leaders have resisted calls to dramatically limit or end their refugee programs. Citing national security concerns, House Republicans and almost four dozen Democrats last week passed a bill that would significantly tighten screening procedures for Syrians seeking refuge in the U.S.
The anti-terrorism committee said the militants were also preparing a series of attacks in the North Caucasus region. As long as Assad remains, there is no way to unite the country’s various factions for the fight against the Islamic State, he said. They are hoping to push it through the Senate too. Now they are scared of 3-year-old orphans.
“Obama doesn’t want to drop bombs just to show he’s muscular”, Thompson said. “That’s the world we’re living in today, and we understand that”. They were supposed to meet a summit last weekend in Turkey, but Hollande cancelled in the wake of the attacks.
