It is the only way, If this carries on I can France invoking NATO. If Trump gets in he has already said he will declare war against ISIS.
If there aren't troops back in Iraq and in Syria by 2017 I'll be amazed.

I think we should have intervened in Syria previously but would that fix this problem now? ISIS are, as far as I have read, being pushed back at this point. They pretty much left Iraq a while ago and are losing ground in Syria.
The thing is it's a lot harder to stop some random person who has conspired with no-one from killing people in the name of ISIS. They don't need to exist as a coherent force for these things to happen.
As for Trump given his previous comments of killing innocent people (if they're related to less innocent people) and excusing his troops from any war crime violations I am not sure he would do anything but make things a lot worse.
