Exactly. While they are indeed a threat there is no way they could supply and sustain a larger effort that far away. Same goes for Russia, most major powers except US rely on intimidation with little real ability to project their power across large distances...
Yet we need to spends tax dollars and American blood on Isis when the Muslim world may not be ballsy/angry enough to do so, because they're going to invade our soil?
No there is no "need". But we are the nation that is watched carefully as a leader in situations all over the world.
this situation in the middle east is just like Germany in WWII, everyone then said sit back it's a european problem.
Let it grow and develop and it will one day be a HUGE issue, here and abroad...
