#1 It would be nice if some of the western volunteers risking it all to fight ISIS could be guided to a few of these tertiary battles. Let ISIS fight Iran and put the talent into rolling back the worst on the periphary of Islam where Wahhabism doesn't have as firm a grip.

I read a book once upon a time that basically promoted the idea that Islam as we know it is vast and diverse (think Indonesia with the Java dancers and Turkey with the Belly Dancers) but it basically started as Arab Imperialsm (and they are uptight and a bit militant). Then in teh last decade or so Saudi Oil money has taken over a large number of mosques and Arab Imperialism has returned.

Long story short he suggested it would've been easier to roll back the nasty form of Islam if we'd positioned ourselves as against Arab Imperialism but we wanted a more direct action against the 911 attacks and we unwilling to upset the dear Arabs. We'll never know if the Western Strategy was wise or not since victory was pissed away.
