It's just law enforcement, Texas Ranger style. But with Air cav.
Muslims are just people, same as Americans are, yes there are some bad muslims -- ISIS-- that Obama's coalition is going after. Think Texas posse, everyone gets together and rides on out to smoke 'em out and clear out those comanche that've been scalping folks.
It's like this -- not all indians were bad indians, but the comanche were brutal, and feared by other indians.
Not all Americans are bad Americans, but some of them are, and government must go after them too. That's law enforcement.
In the case of ISIS, the terrorist that beheaded the American hostages -- is British! Does that mean all Brits are bad? Of course not. Not even all British muslims. But some of them are, yep.
Just try to get beyond equivocation -- suggesting there's no difference between muslims to start with, and then that infers we aren't justified in our war against ISIS. We are the good guys in this. We will not abide terrorist attacks on us, and our people beheaded, and ISIS had a plot to *behead Australians in Australia*, we have to fight them.
It's like comanche in the 1800s, what are you going to do just "understand" them and they raid your farms and scalp your kin and kill everyone? Jesus, no, you get a backbone and you fight them.
The coalition governments are the good guys in this, too. They are civil society too, in opposition to this terrorism and chaos and crucifixions, mass executions and rape that ISIS is doing. Jordan doesn't want frickin' ISIS rolling over their border, and they sure as heck don't want any ISIS radicalizing their sunni and we don't want that either.
The American coalition are the good guys in this. It's civil society standing up, and driving out the mad max jihadi mongol horde.(no offense meant to modern day indians and mongolians, with my historical analogies -- those comanche were badass though, and the mongol hordes were too, and settled law-abiding society had to fight them -- you can't be weak and just let these ISIS run amok and build a caliphate and start crossing the Turkish border, and the Jordanians, and the Saudis, and attacking frickin' Australia too, and who knows what else. They have to be fought.)
