What will it take to awaken America from its sleep in the Middle East? A bomb in New York? An EMP attack in Chicago, ISIS taking over Europe? Rome falling to ISIS?
Our belief is that neither of the two latter options will sufficiently motivate the US government to react. The politicians will all say "that is their fight, not ours." An attack on US soil might be enough to get Americans to react, for a while. You see the once strongest nation in the world is a paper tiger. We roar but nothing happens. We have forgotten Teddy Roosevelt's mantra, "speak softly and carry a big stick..."
No longer is American power feared. Angering us used to mean something, it no longer does.
It does not help that our President is, if not a believer in ISIS, he definitely is a fellow traveler of ISIS. He will not allow any department of the US government call this demonic group of radical Islamists, what it really is. That is a threat to all western democracies. When you cannot identify your enemy, you lose.
Additionally, we are importing Muslims into this country as fast as we can. They are being spread through out the country from large cities to rural areas. Now before you start hyperventilating, understand that not all Muslims will become Jihadists and most are looking for a better life. However, if only 10% do, this is a major problem. Remember the Tsarnov brothers, look at the damage they did to Boston and they were only two. Multiply that by a thousand or ten thousand and the problem becomes clear.
Already Somali immigrants who were settled in Minnesota are heading to ISIS to be trained and then presumably will come back here to cause damage. What happens to us then?
The US is not the country of forty years ago where immigrants had to have a sponsor who would promise that they would take care of the individuals, would get them a job and would make sure that they did not become a burden to the state. That time has passed and now most immigrants are a "burden to the state." It is time to reverse the trend and we need to start with the Muslim immigrants who are coming here and due to ISIS present a current and present danger.

US Didn’t Do “Damn Thing” to Stop ISIS in Ramadi, Says Iranian Commander
“Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, cruel, and full of wrath and fierce anger; to make the earth a desolation, and to destroy the sinners thereof out of it.” (Isaiah 13:9)

ISIS jihadists parade in Libya.
The head of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard’s (IRGC) al-Quds force declared Monday that American forces have “no will” to fight the Islamic State (ISIS), leaving only the Islamic Republic to take on the task, Iranian media reported.
General Qassem Soleimani leveled the accusation against the US in the wake of the fall of Ramadi, one day after US Defense Secretary Ashton Carter made similar comments regarding Iraqi forces. It is unclear whether Soleimani was responding to Carter’s comments directly.
“Obama has not done a damn thing so far to confront [ISIS],” said Soleimani, according to Iranian paper Javan, considered close to the Iranian Guard. “Doesn’t that show that there is no will in America to confront it? How is it that America claims to be protecting the Iraqi government, when a few kilometers away in Ramadi killings and war crimes are taking place and they are doing nothing?”
According to Soleimani, only Iran is standing up to ISIS. “Today, there is nobody in confrontation with (the Islamic State group) except the Islamic Republic of Iran” and its allies, he said.
Ramadi is the capital of Iraq’s Anbar province, not far from the capital of Baghdad, captured just over a week ago by ISIS forces. According to BBC, heavy-handed scare tactics were used to frighten off the overworked Iraqi forces stationed there.
Since then, Iraq has rallied in an effort to take back the province. Iraqi officials announced Tuesday a new operation was being launched, expected to retake the city in just days. Iraqi parliamentarian Ahmed al-Assadi told the Associated Press the operation would “not last for a long time” and that Iraqi forces were using new weapons “that will surprise the enemy.”
Although any attempt to diminish ISIS’s foothold in Iraq is welcome, concerns have been raised in Washington regarding claims by an Iraqi Shi’ite militia, Hashid Shaabi, that it is spearheading the operation. That, along with the highly sectarian name assigned to the effort, may ruffle the feathers of the mostly Sunni local population, sending them into the open arms of the Islamic State. ISIS has billed itself as the only force working to protect Sunnis from Shi’ites.
“The Labaik Ya Hussein operation is led by the Hashid Shaabi in cooperation and coordination with the armed forces there,” Iraqi Prime Minister Haidar Assadi said at a televised news conference. The name of the operation is taken from a slogan honouring the grandson of the prophet Muhammad who fell in the battle which divided Sunnis and Shi’ites in the 7th century.
“We believe that liberating Ramadi will not take long,” he added.
Ramadi is not the only place to have fallen recently into ISIS hands. Palmyra, in Syria, was captured by ISIS only days later. Hundreds have been slaughtered there, including women and children, and concerns have been raised that the various ancient archaeological treasures of the city will be destroyed by ISIS, as has happened in the past in Mosul and Nimrud in Iraq. Syria has since launched air strikes against ISIS fighters in Palmyra.
