Exactly. You're damned if you do and damned if you don't. So, since the violence approach hasn't been working, how about trying something new? Ignoring them.

Way to ignore the point.
It was ignored for years in Europe until it couldn't be ignored anymore. By that time the price of victory was astronomically high. Why let it get to that point?
What happens when they start taking over nations and suicide bombers and hatchet murderers are no longer the most effective means of causing destruction available to them?
That's your opinion. Glad you got your DD214 so you could look down your nose at the rest of us still in.

First off, thank you for the serious debate, as well as your time invested...
RE: Ignoring them:
Would you be willing to risk the lives of hundreds of millions of innocents by simply ignoring ISIS as it went about it's plans for genocide?
Let me ask you this:
--Your crazy neighbor leans over your fence and tells you that when you least expect it, he plans to first kill you...and, after you, he will continue, house to house, until he kills everyone else in his neighborhood.
--You tell all of your other neighbors about his threat...and, unanimously, they all say..."Just ignore him...and he'll probably go away"...and "WE won't consider him a REAL threat until he actually kills you first."
--You tell the police, and they just ignore you; say it's not their jurisdiction.
What would you do?
Move.

Just one. Heck, even a ME Muslim country will do, since they have militaries themselves and all.
Pakistan.
And they have nuclear weapons.

Getting a bit snippy aren't we? But no, I was a 13M doing MP work (convoy security) while in Iraq, not that it matters. But yes, if a crazy person threatened my life and the police didn't want to do anything about it, I'm not going to take matters in my own hands since I'D be arrested for attacking him preemptively. The safest course of action at this point is to move.

Ahhhh. Again you resort to humor to avoid a serious question.
Funny answer, though.
Should we all move to the moon, when ISIS is done killing everyone on earth who is not them?

If the police aren't going to listen to me, there is no other option but to either buy a gun and carry it at all times to defend myself with or move. Maybe I could stumble across some evidence to take to the police, but I'm not going to pretend to be some action hero and I'm certainly not going to take matters into my own hands. After all, what if I'm wrong? What if he didn't kill those people, someone else did, and he is just crazy enough to cop to the crimes?

Oh? Then maybe you need to elaborate on your point a bit more, because what I got out of your post and what my rebuttal would have been was adequately summarized and explained better than I could have done in that article.

Lol no ROE! That means they won't be able to go back and blend in. We will kill anyone helping them, yes women and children. Sorry my children and my wife are worth it!!!!!
No, that isn't what I'm talking about.
Idiots like you are no different than the high and mighty pseudo-pacifists that can never find anything worth fighting against in this world. You both simply do not understand the nature of combat against these people.
