I saw a video of a militant training grade school kids- looked like they were below the fifth grade- on how to use automatic weapons and kill people.
ISIS also seems like an ideology, as opposed to a set organization, so when one set of fighters die, there will be a new group growing up to take their place.
Will they start attacking us when we lay-off a bit and draw-out of those areas?
Short of nuking Syria and Iraq and turning that whole area into a wasteland, is it even possible to defeat ISIS?

It's never possible to win a war in total defeat, unless it's a war with a government that operates established borders. Iraq and Libya were defeated within hours, basically.
Linda might be able to destroy ISIS, but that's the only real shot at total defeat.

"we" cannot defeat IS. It can only be defeated from within. When the backwards fux of the region are defeated by the forward-thinking of the region, then IS and like-minded ideology will be snuffed out.
We need a presence in the region to show them what "right looks like".

Linda must be one bad chick!
Just messing
Anyway, terrorism will never ever be defeated...ever. There will always be a group out there willing life and limb for their cause or ideology while murdering and destroying as many and much as possible.
Get used to it, it's only going to get worse.

This would just make things worse. There are muslim extremists everywhere and the rest of the world would turn against us for killing millions of innocents.
The middle east is a mess because they tie government to religion. Until that changes there will be no peace.
