Moments ago I was watching CNN International in my hotel in Lucerne, Switzerland. Their talking head, a Brit, said the U.S. had moved a half dozen F-16s to Incerlik AFB in Turkey to bomb ISIS in Syria next door.
Her disparaging remark was that ISIS was recruiting new fighters as fast as we were killing them. Her strong implication was that was a bad thing. Au contraire, sez COTTonLINE, it's a good thing.
People who wish the U.S. ill are being killed, far from our shores. There is relatively minimal risk to Americans and Europeans who are smart enough to avoid the conflict area.
If the new recruits come to Syria from Europe, North America, or Australia/New Zealand, so much the better. They've won the Darwin Award and maybe 70 virgins. They've improved our societies at the same time, it is a true win-win for everybody. Faster please.
