Fighting ISIS

Contention One: Isis is weak and we can easily stop them now If we do not fight ISIS then we would not be promoting the general welfare of the American people, and this is the perfect time to take a stand. ISIS is making their way to take over everything and are starting to take over more of Syria, which means they are becoming more powerful and soon will be able to come to the US and put up a good fight, so why don't we just stop them while they are weaker? If we step out of the fighting with ISIS for now, we can just sit back and watch, until of course, ISIS has taken over all of the Middle East, half of Africa, a good amount of southern Europe, and quite the part of Asia, when they then want to attack us with a new army much more powerful than ours. ISIS has an estimates force of 31,000. Imagine this figure in the next 2/3 years! It is also estimated that it could take 3 years to legitimately eradicate the threat ISIS poses to the US and the rest of the world. A land invasion by the Allies (UK, US, EU and other powers) is our best chance at eliminating this brutality. They're running riot murdering, everything in it's way. ISIS militants separate the boys from the girls and rape girls as young as age 12. A land invasion would allow us to regain control of the country and protect it's people much quicker! We could do this in a matter of months, not years. By the time 3 years is up that 31,000 could be double, or more! And the amount of people suffering with this is astonishing. Contention Two: Make good on our promise to fight terror Did the United States not declare war on terror? ISIS is a terrorist organization with a grand plan of more violence. The U.S. allowed Al Queda a base of operations in Afghanistan which was used to attack several American targets killing thousands of American lives. Now it becomes a question of is ISIS a terrorist organization or not? It has become apparently clear that ISIS is one of if not the most dangerous terrorist organization in the world and we need to make good on our promise to combat terrorism at home and abroad. If we do not jump in on this war and fight ISIS on land, on sea and through the air, then we will be seen as a weak nation that can"t keep its promises and terrorist organizations such as ISIS and Al-Queda won"t take us seriously. Contention Three: The United States needs to take accountability and fix our mistakes It is our fault that ISIS is what is it, we need to take accountability for what we have done and do something about this mistake. Most of the IS tech that they use, including weaponry, machinery and ammunition has all arrived in some way from the U.S. Furthermore when American troops withdrew from that region - what were they expecting would happen? You overthrow a dictatorship, and then leave the "moderate" rebels to fend for themselves? No, they all form small groups and eventually lead to a grouping such as ISIS. ISIS members are the so called "moderate" rebels the American government armed in order to fight dictators such as Assad in the region. Contention Four: Once we fight ISIS we can combat other threats in the region We need to join in this war because if we can eliminate ISIS we can combat Assad as well. This war is about more than just Oil and unusable desert land. It is about life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness which both ISIS and Assad have been denying the Syrian people. The sad thing is that because of the rise of ISIS, an evil dictator on par with Kim Jong Un, Assad, got away with using long outlawed chemical weapons on peaceful protestors.
