| Summary |
As war game participants rightly judged, ending the civil wars is the most urgent security priority in the Middle East. If you stop the civil wars, most of the poison they unleash, such as ethnic hatred or sectarian hostility, can be drained. As the current record shows, this cannot be accomplished by 'staying the course.' Killing one ISIS bee at a time when dealing with a massive beehive will get us nowhere. Furthermore, 'staying the course' actually ensures the continuation of the civil wars, which is the best outcome for ISIS, and neglects the circumstances that gave rise to ISIS. Instead, the United States can do a lot without making a costly investment in American lives and treasure |
