On an "apple vs. orange" lane switch.....ISIS radicals here at home/returning home may well pose a massive direct threat to the US/UK.
Undoubtedly, we've been bombing them.They won't be blowing up train stations in Buenos Aires or Helsinki though and I reckon I know why
You and I are smart enough to be able to correlate the countries at risk to the countries that insist upon intervening militarily.
You're right of course because i'm kinda arguing for closing the stable door after the horse has moved state.

The UK has got a serious problem when right-on idiots like her can mobilize enough support amongst the pc brigade that they can even stop the condemnation of religious bigots and mass murderers. What with hundreds of activist supporters racing over there to commit mass murder, nutters bent on domestic carnage in the name of Allah, flag waving mobs taking over their estates and now large numbers of apparently sympathetic students who think ISIS is OK, 'cos they is Muslims innit. Some of them set up to enter and skew British politics in short-order, no doubt. Interesting poll on support for ISIS, US in coalition countries: http://www.timesofisrael.com/egypt-saudi-arabia-le...

Hmmm. So basically, in the ME, everybody dislikes somebody, unless they're Chinese.Weird.
You may remember that Trinidad had a Muslim coup a number of years ago. Well these radicals are now fighting for ISIS too.

"What do all these numbers mean for the current US campaign against ISIS? Public opinion can be fickle, but for now several policy implications emerge from this analysis.
First, Washington and its allies need not fear that ISIS might attract a mass following in these nearby Arab societies, or that a strong popular backlash might develop against US airstrikes, or against our other Arab allies in this fight. But second, the United States would be well advised to target its actions very narrowly against ISIS — not against other Islamist groups that have recently come under American fire, and could well add to their substantial popularity as a result. And third, any US overtures either to Assad or to Iran, as potential partners against ISIS, run a great risk both of further alienating the Egyptian and the Saudi publics, and of further inflaming the dangerous sectarian polarization among Lebanese at the same time."

Wait until they get a real taste of the Chinese, then it will be to late. When we have enough of our own oil and let China deal with the ME, they'll be begging for some Uncle Sam. .
