There is no honest motive for the Syrian Refugees for attacking Paris, and America, also likewise to Hitler.

If that never happens – and it won’t if the only offense the rest of the world offers is an airstrike or two – ISIS will grow unchallenged until they pose a real threat to, quite possibly, claim all of Syria. The only way this growing force will be stopped is if a force stronger confront them in way of battle. The lives of hundreds of thousands depend on the world’s militaries to take action and do what they were formed to do: not only to protect their respective country’s sovereignty, but the sovereignty of allies and friends around the globe.
