ISIS
Boots on the Ground
Assuming that removing the head would destroy or greatly weaken ISIS tennacles around the world, I would support boots and whatever else is needed to attack and destroy ISIS in Iraq and Syria. Unlike the foolish invasion of Iraq, we would not be toppling a real nation. (BTW, I do not fault Bush, et.al. for not planning for the end game; I doubt that any amount of planning would have prevented the sorry outcome). Destroying ISIS may well help Assad but unless there really are moderate groups we could support, the outlook there is not bright.
