Except that one of our generals has said the real problem are the twenty million displaced people from the Iraq War and the wars going on in Syria for years. They have been without a home and can be recruited by ISIS.
If's possible we are on the verge of total warfare such as the world has not seen since WW2. I don't want to be an alarmist and believe Obama is doing all he can to stop more wars starting up. But there are all kinds of wars going on right now.
We seem to be living different realities on this planet. There are people in what would be called peace but not in what we call freedom, there are those who are so battered by warfare they could not be considerd free. This state of affairs may go on to escalate or dwindle and we may not be able to do a thing about it.
I just went searched to make an answer to you, and stumbled onto a website where I learned things about Iraq I never knew and what veterans won't talk about. My dad was in the Pacific in WW2 and didn't indulge us with stories, but on occasion he'd let out some of the things he saw there, as they went through Oceania and finally into China as the Japanese army retreated.
It was quite grosteque, but he spoke of it in those distant terms some do. My BNL was in Vietnam and didn't want to talk about what he did in the Air Force, either but on occasion he let things slip.
I'm not sure where the world is headed now. I wonder if we will or can abandon war, but still not have peace, but low level conflicts and death until the world takes another path. Or never change.
ISIS thinks they have the road to world peace. I cannot imagine living under them, no more than these unfortunate people could.
