'The people of the Middle-East need to redraw the map themselves..'

<blockquote>'..the cost in lives and treasure is unlikely to be worth the gain. I therefore tend to agree with commenter Chris, and Bob Baer, that Iraq and Syria are doomed .. divided on sectarian and ethnic lines, and we should learn to live with that. Secure our economic interests .. Focus our attention on China and Russia..'

'The people of the Middle-East need to redraw the map themselves .. .. the solution is of understanding what is really going on .. starting an informal dialogue with tribal leaders of the region under [ISIS control] .. to understand really [of] what is going on there and on the basis of this information develop a foreign policy, which is not a foreign policy of intervention .. to influence the outcome of events in our favour of course..'

<blockquote>'The people of the Middle-East need to redraw the map themselves .. We should not back the oligarchical elites .. if we carry on with the double standards we end up loosing even the few moderate forces which are left there .. the solution is of understanding what is really going on .. starting an informal dialogue with tribal leaders of the region under [ISIS control]. Start a dialogue in order to understand really [of] what is going on there and on the basis of this information develop a foreign policy, which is not a foreign policy of intervention, but a foreign policy old style, of the 18th century diplomacy, to influence the outcome of events in our favour of course. The risk is that the redrawing of the map will be to our disadvantage and the Middle East is fundamental for us, we share the Mediterranean. So use a different kind of skills. Which of course we don't have, because our diplomacy is of the Cold War .. We need people like Metternich, Bismarck, people that understand realpolitics, and than take it from there .. The military solution is not working in a multipolar world.'

Bombing is not going to be the best solution.
