Answer 3

When ISIS spilled into Iraq, the US seemed almost content to just let the Iraqi's handle it or even let ISIS just have the territory they wanted if the Iraq's couldn't fight them off. ISIS's goals were almost on par with the "3 state solution" that many believe is the only logical way to divide up 3 ethnic groups that can't stand each other.

But it wasn't enough for them to just accept the territory they gained to set up their Sunni state (despite pockets of other religious groups like Christians being present) and let the Shia have Baghdad. They continues marching toward Baghdad and began slaughtering the small but certainly not insignificant ethic groups in their territory. In short, having political dominion over their territory is not enough, they want a complete ethnic cleansing of anyone who does not share their belief system.

I realize irrational behavior and religious fanaticism sort of go hand in hand... but Obama made it pretty clear as the brutality against civilians increased that the US wasn't just going to allow them to get away with it. Eventually he followed through and began bombing strategic targets and this has only made ISIS step up its brutality as it has begun beheading any American it can get its hands on....

So... what is their end game here? I think if they had kept this strictly a military issue they probably would have "gotten away with it" and have been allowed to keep control over the territories they seized, but they seem almost hell bent on doing whatever it takes to get someone (US, Britain) ticked off enough to come and destroy them.

why?

I don't see what ADVANTAGE it gives them to continue antagonizing world powers that, let's face it, they really don't stand a change against in an open war. Or is their fanaticism really just so off the charts that they don't care, and they would rather tick the US off then have to accept sharing any of their land with a living Christian/Shia/Kurd, etc?

Answer 4

We don't let anyone tell us what to do. We go where we want and if people of that area have a problem they can get blown up.
