Part of me really wants the UK to send ground troops into the ISIS-occupied countries... and yet part of me knows that's exactly what they want.

At any rate, ISIS will either up the ante till they have the entire world looking for their end, or it'll implode as with any organization with one leader (A caliphate or w.e) leading them all.

Simply put, ISIL will lose this war; it is just about limiting the casualties during the time it takes for the allies to win it.

Nobody denies he was obviously an incredibly kind man who was only going to help people, but the fact remains that for people to still be going over to these places knowing the danger they are in (as well as putting our troops and special forces in danger when they are in need of rescue) being westerners it's incredibly naive: and especially when they have young families. I am sure the Foreign and Commonwealth Office has already advised on travel to these areas, but it should be made clear: get the hell out of these places.

Yeah, they have indeed advised against ALL travel. The only thing I would say, is that I am unsure how long these warnings have been in place; maybe the restrictions were not quite so seriously 18 months ago (that isn't to say that they weren't!)
