We are talking about Syria and Iraq?

I take it you are unfamiliar with Napoleon's campaign or the location of Acre?

I do know where acre is. Acre might have been where the Napoleonic French reached during the so called Syrian campaign, it is actually not, and has never been, part of modern state of Syria. It was part of British mandate, and has been part of Israel since 1948.

Going back through the thread it would appear to be about 'jihadists'. I see no mention of a limitation to the modern states of Syria or Iraq, indeed there is reference to a restoration of the Caliphate which would suggest that the entire region is under discussion.

Non-Palestinean Arabs think they're Palestinean
They keep whining about how they're getting killed when they're living in luxury (relatively).

Interesting responses... my point wasn't to come up with a solution to the military strategy, more to get an agreement that there's a problem that needs dealing with? seems some of you don't think so?

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?

RE: World war 3
Certainly the most successful strategy was secularization of ME states, initially that was under colonial rule though that seems to be an unpopular strategy these days. The collapse of those secular states during the Cold War is perhaps something that should be looked into, Iran being a case in point.
