They killed over 6,000 people last year and are not slowing down. There are pros and cons of attacking isis and they are things we need to think about. We as americans need to destroy ISIS. 9/11 is one of america's darkest days. Al Qaeda and the Taliban are responsible and now ISIS has surfaced and they are a branch of those two organizations. America responded to 9/11 with great anger towards Al Qaeda and the Taliban. We bombed Iraq for almost 2 weeks straight. We have had american boots on the ground in the middle east since 2001.

We can choose a specific location and send a drone with one bomb on it and eliminate the target. Next is they use drones so no boots would be on the ground so no us casualties. These are both good things but the problem is ISIS blends i with general public and cannot be recognised easy. They hide in plain sight. They also don't travel in large groups so an airstrike that cost a whole lot of money would probably only eliminate 4-6 members.

The Pros And Cons Of Seizing Raqqa

203 Words | 1 Pages

ISIS was able to destabilize an entire region, control large territories, force neighboring countries to reevaluate immigration and foreign policy, branch into other parts of the globe, force recognition on the international stage, and rival other VEOs such as Al Qaeda; by using simple and hybrid methods of insurgency, Asymmetric warfare, and traditional forms of Islamic law and governance.

ISIS made their first major global appearance by using the Syrian Civil War to swoop in and capture vulnerable Syrian territory. To date, they control one third of Syria and substantial portions of Iraq. “International investigators said on Friday that in order for the Islamic State to remain financially viable it would have to further expand territory it controls in Iraq and Syria and take over more resources” (Hosenball 1). Because of this, it is likely that ISIS will only continue to grow and obtain more territory, especially if the rest of the world does not work together in attempt to more aggressively combat ISIS. It can be shown that these allied nations are not doing enough by this report which states, “ISIS has almost doubled the land it controls in Syria since the US-led coalition began airstrikes against the extremist group in the summer” (Mailonlinen 1).
