Odeon, you cannot take the "grown up who don't believe in fairy-tales"-stance with everything that is not "by the book". ISIS is most likely created and funded by western powers, as an extension of the ancient alien agenda. This is where you sigh and eye-roll, and go "ancient aliens don't exist! They're like ghouls, ghosts and Israel, they are fairy-tales!"
But no, Israel DOES exist, it's not just a spooky story told over camp-fires at night. Corruption DOES exist, and the creation of terrorist organizations DOES happen.
"Sheehs, AS IF! AS IF humans, as we know them, would willingly, knowingly, create conflict that despite costing human lives, will generate enormous wealth for a few. Humans never put wealth that high! Never! I am Buddha!"
That said, Ben is offering quite naive solutions. Stop the USA? Doing what exactly? It's not like they have open bank accounts, visible transfers. This is about what you can prove - and even when it's proven, it typically means nothing, the invasion of Iraq was agreed upon - globally - to be illegal.
It meant nothing.
My position is this one:
If I create a dooms-day robot, and unleash it among the people, and then demand a ransom to deactivate it - something only I can do, what would be the best course of action?
Punish me, by allowing my robot to annihilate mankind?
No.
Just pay me the damn ransom. Think of the innocent civilians.
The US, UK and Israel have taken the entire Middle East hostage, and they are now kindly asking for some support in taking out the hostagetaker. The least we can do is squint our eyes, sigh heavily, think of the civilians, and provide them with some jetfighter support.
