The current malaise in the Middle East is not the result of Western diplomacy, nor could diplomacy, the way Barnard envisions, have prevented what is currently going on. Wahhabism's influence began in the 18th century with it's marriage of convenience to the house of Saud.
Saudi Arabia and Turkey could easily wipe out Isis, but after several years have proven themselves to be reluctant. The only diplomacy that can serve those devastated by what's going on is to give Turkey and KSA an ultimatum: clean this shit up because if the West has to get involved we'll simply recolonize the region.
Who the fuck wants it?
