Who will have the courage and fortitude to cut the head off of this monster, and what will it take before that happens? France has been attacked; they talked tough but have done nothing. The U.S. has been attacked; Obama has made only token efforts, enough to say he is doing something but has done very little. Turkey has now been attacked; Erdogan will do nothing as long as ISIS is a useful tool against the Kurds. ISIS keeps trying to pick fights, but so far every politician has cowardly backed away. ISIS will continue to escalate the body count until someone has had enough. Maybe they need to attack Moscow or Beijing to find a worthy adversary. What will happen in the Middle East once one of those countries establishes a military presence there?
