It's better to fight ISIS in Iraq and Syria than it is having to fight them on our own soil.
The last time a terrorist group threatened the U.S.? I think not. Terrorist groups threaten the U.S. all the time. Cuba threatens us, North Korea threatens us, every Muslim country in the world probably has a group that has threatened us. Our foreign policy should represent our own national interests, which is to stop spending our money and lives to kill people and make more future enemies.
Terrorist states like North Korea have a history of mostly running their mouths and show boating but not acting out their threats against the U.S. in a manner like Al Qaeda did. Groups like Al Qaeda and ISIS have shown that they will act on their threats. Our foreign policy should reflect that if our interests and our people are harmed, the U.S. will reply with a strong military response.
