For me doing nothing is not an option, even if we may wish it was. The only question is what we do and certainly bombing ISIL supply routes, weapons dumps, oil storage facilities etc. is already being done. Whatever else happens this will continue and likely increase as will targeted attacks on leading members of the group.

This is a battle we must fight but isn't one we can win in the traditional sense because the warped ideology which underpins ISIL doesn't require vast manpower, military/financial resources to spread. The genie is out of the bottle and isn't going back in but I think we must do much more to reduce the spread of ISIL's evil message and its widespread targeting of impressionable young people via social media in particular.

Whatever is done won't have the desired result quickly or have an ideal outcome and we need to accept that. This isn't going to be a conventional war, it's going to be a very long term battle of ideologies fought as much in the minds of certain sections of society as in bombed out towns and villages in places like Syria and Libya.
