I can't really understand the lack of any real support to the war against ISIS. On the government side, the air strikes are just a bad joke, just a strategy of deception to keep calm that small part of the population that are really horrorized by the drama being lived in Irak and Syria. Without troops on the ground (and that means many troops) there's nothing to do. The negative of Western powers to put troops on the ground there really makes me sick, politicians do not want to go through the trouble of seeing some of those troops coming back in coffins, it won't play nice for the next elections. Sure the idea of sending Westerns to die there is painful, but it's much more painful to see how women and children are enslaved by ISIS terrorist (on a different topic, I can't understand why the media continue to call these beasts "militants", they are real TERRORISTS, and not the PKK fighters), men get their heads chopped off, and the most interesting experiment in social transformation in the last 50 years, Rojava, is kept under attack. As for the "drama" of sending our "guys" to die in a foreign war... well, this is not a foreign war, this is a war against Humanity, and if someone enlists in the army it should be clear to him than dying in combat is one of the chances he faces, it's part of the job.
As for the normal population, this lack of support is deeply revolting. While in 2003 there were massive movilizations against the war in Irak, now we've hardly seen anyone on the streets urging the Government to fight this monstrosity. Well, in the end it makes sense, most people is unable to go beyond the dichotomic views they were instilled with. So basically violence and war are bad, regardless of whether they'll be use to colonize and oppress other people or to try to save other people from oppression and brutality, so a politically correct person can not demonstrate in favor of a military intervention, cause military interventions are always bad... Society of idiots.
It can be quite shocking that I could agree with anything said by Marine Le Pen... but the other they she reminded us in an interview in Euronews (I'm not linking it, I don't want to give any further publicity to the FN) how absurd is to be in a coalition against ISIS with the states that have been funding radical Islam for decades (yes, all those IslamoFascist medieval kingdoms: Saudi Arabia, Quatar... you name it)
Hopefully, as already shown in previous posts, there's a small portion of our society that is aware of this drama and are trying to raise awareness. These are my last street findings in France/
Financial support for Kobane in Toulouse:
And different stickers and posters in Paris, in an area quite full with Antifascist "propaganda":
