It can not be only the white nations. It also has to be China, and India, and Africa, Russia of course, Cuba perhaps, Brazil. The coalition has to be the grandest to date in human history. It can not just be about military defeat, it also has to be about a peaceful new awakening. 100% internet access and 100% access to credit, and free and fair elections to a constituent assembly that is authorized to write a constitution where the only rule is it may not clash with the Human Rights Charter, and that rule will have international judicial oversight. One wishes for no war, but there is this one time where war might be the only option. ISIS may not be allowed to become Rwanda. Or this is not a new century, this is not a new millennium. Done right this may hasten the end of the War On Terror to a positive end, for it will rapidly spread the cause of liberty. A Marshall Plan like largess will have to follow to build infrastructure and give the people a new beginning. Barack Obama is as good as Hillary Clinton to give it a start. The war could see a rapid conclusion, done right. It is in essence an invasion. But the aftermath has to be thoroughly thought out and agreed upon first. Yes, this is ground invasion. There are large numbers of troops involved. Assad has to go, and Russia has to agree to it. But Assad may linger while ISIS is defeated. Assad's ouster can be a negotiated deal where he sees a comfortable retirement in Russian territory. He might even have negotiated himself a constitutional monarchy had he been king, but is not king. He is president.
