The US have the backing of many nations including Middle Eastern states to fight ISIS. And not only is the US conducting the air strikes, France, Britain and Australia have all conducted air strikes! ISIS have managed to take control of oil plants and therefore are now able to fund there extremist regime. The problem is that ISIS make over $2m a day from selling oil on the black market. So a top priority should be to remove there financial capital and funding by eliminating or seizing the oil plants.
Now I am from Australia, and before any ISIS extremist event occurred the majority of the Australian population were still war weary from WWII, Korea, Vietnam and Middle East (Iraq/Afghanistan). Now that we have had two attempted terrorist attacks in the last month public opinion has done a landslide. Although We, like many thousands of others do not support our brave men enduring a tearful tiring ground war, we do all agree that action must be taken. Although there will never be a very good answer we cannot sit and watch the catastrophes that are occurring! The current air strikes, I believe are a temporary action to pass more stratergy and thinking time to come up with a better solution to this crisis. There will never be any perfect uncontreversiable answer, but I fully support and sympathise the actions of world leaders who do not tolerate the actions and people committing such horrendous acts of in justice.
We are no longer barbaric, violent, irrational, tribalistic religious crusaders. We in the Western World promote secularism to ensure and protect the large biodiversity of faith, religion, and mutliculturalistic features of a functionable harmonic society. Therefore I believe that more people should support or in someway help those affected or show support to governments who have taken it upon themselves to attempt to handle and ultimately fix the situation to preserve and protect the freedom and justice that is essential for our modern society!
