If the Islamic state gets a foothold, then apart from riding roughshod over any middle east country in it's way, it is committing genocide. That must be enough for us to intervene? We're not talking about one individual dictator to remove for oil purposes. We're talking about protecting human life - there can be nothing more important surely?!
If a significant Islamic sharia state is formed, it can only embolden other borderline extreme muslims to act and press for change where they live...
The message needs to be that religious dominance is not welcome anywhere on this beautiful planet... surely?
The local powers are capable of handling the threat if we send the message that we won't come riding over the hill to intervene like we've always done before. They'll never be able to govern their own region if we never let them.

With respect, what education?
At an early age, 2/3/4 they start reciting the quran. And as they go to prayer, they get preached at. You aren't going to change that...
It would be like asking my mum how tall she was in metres !
We changed it in Afganistan and Iran. They were socialist and communist-leaning countries who didn't go in for all that old-fashioned madrassa crap. Then we helped overthrow THOSE governments. Now we've got rampant fundamentalism.
Maybe we should look at how those countries once became so secular.
