I agree with Obama, we had better carefully make a distinction between radical Islamists and the rest of the world of Muslims.... otherwise, we will convert this conflict into an all-out religious war.   And THAT is what the apocalyptic vision of ISIS says will happen.  We don't need to strengthen their resolve & encourage more of their recruits.... we need to strengthen their enemies, moderate Sunni and Shitte's.      It's imperative that we let Islam sort out their own ideology rather than try to impose our will on them.....

It's easier to kill people than it is to kill an idea or a religion.... and we had better quit seeing the world thru the lens of a Hollywood movie wherein the good guys win and return home to a better world.   The Middle East is a tar baby.  Once you put your hand in, you can't take it out.
