With ISIS alienating and outraging Sunnis throughout the region, this seems like a good time for the U.S. to 'lead from behind' and let Jordan, Egypt, etc. do the ass-kicking for a change (as always, we can supply arms, money, intelligence, and "advisors"). There's no reason to legitimize ISIS in the eyes of young men who are itching to fight the U.S. If they wish to join up, let them do so with the knowledge that their fight is against their own people. As ISIS is degraded, the prospect of joining up to fight other Arabs will seem less and less attractive.
This is a Sunni cancer. Let the Arabs wield the scalpel.
