    Many of them are concentrated in one area of Iraq, yes?

    In economic terms yes. They are also doing it for security as the south of Russia is often hit by terrorist attacks and Assad seems the only force truly committed to fighting ISIS. Russia also wants ISIS gone because the west does not want them gone.

    Warehouses in Iraq packed to the brim with American vehicles and weapons that ISIS managed to take in a matter of days.

    I firmly believe that Obama's hasty withdrawal from Iraq will not go unpunished.

    The USA is not responsible for radical islam nor terrorism.

    If that were the case, then we wouldn't see every single nation around the globe being attacked by muslim terrorists.

    Every free society - and even those not free - are targeted because they're not muslims. Women and children of every other religion and nationality butchered deliberately and indiscriminately as the animals scream 'Allah Ackbar'.

    There are bloody wars looming on the horizon for everyone the world over. The flood of immigrants to Europe is going to be the biggest mistake made since Chamberlain appeased Hitler and I'm certain that within a decade there will be European cities reduced to war zones as the flood of muslims establishes their Sharia and begin beheading civilians with gusto.

    It's not an anomaly that every middle eastern islamic country is in chaos or barely maintaining order. They stand for utter and complete annihilation of any group of people not subscribing to their particular view of islam - even other muslims. More muslims are killed by other muslims than anyone else, by a long shot, and the muzzies on the losing side of the slaughter are fleeing by the millions.

    When they become established in their new host countries, they're going to look around and set up another Muslim Utopia like the one they escaped from.

    Only this time, there's lots of very tolerant and unarmed infidels all around. It will be gruesome, because now they're in the vulnerable underbelly of Western cities and the house-by-house fighting that will take place to correct the situation will be horrific. Whole cities will be warzones.

    You can't reason with islam, you can only fight it or join it. There's no middle ground.

    Britain is fortunate in that it's an island, and we are in better shape due to oceans separating us... but it's going to have to be fought. The muslims won't have it any other way.

    The US carries a major part of the blame for the rise of terrorism.
    Our invasion of Iraq and failure to stabilize the region created a vacuum in the power structure. Which lead to rise in conflicting sources of terrorism.
    The Bush administration KNEW who was funding terrorism and who openly condoned the 9-11 attacks. It was Saudi Arabia. Yet they openly absolved the Saudis of blame and used Iraq as the scapegoat. It's like knowing that your big brother stole your money, but you beat up your little brother instead.

    I totally agree with you. Let's nuke the Middle East and destroy everyone there. Including Israel. Would solve the entire problem, would it not?

    I know it is quite fashionable among the left to try to blame the USA for all the ills of the world, including terrorism. But to do that, you have to ignore the fact that there were many terrorist attacks long before we invaded Iraq. Including especially 9-11. Beirut, etc. In fact, if you were going to cite a US policy that gave us these particular enemies, it is our alliance with Israel, not the invasion of Iraq.

    As far as Iraq goes, it is ironically Obama's cut and run policy that created the significant vacuum there.

    I think this desire to blame our country for the evil perpetrated by others, is a sad state of affairs.

    Re: the OP question, I always have this feeling that North Korea will be behind the ignition of another major world war.

    Perhaps WWIII will be the final war and mankind will eradicate himself.
