Iraq offers the carrot of access to oil. A big juicy carrot. US keeps sending troops in every time.
Syria offered the threat of chemical weapons and/or a jihadist takeover. Too small a stick. US & Europe didn’t bother even arming the non-jihadist opposition.

Oil, Islam, Addiction.
It’s not a battle between Islam and Christianity, or Islam and rest of the world, but a battle for the soul, and control, of Islam.
The scary bit is that the bad guys are backed by limitless amounts of money. Worse bit is that this money comes from us, from our addiction to oil.
And that is why it’s an addiction. We know it’s bad – bad for our health, bad for the environment and bad because that money supports the very people intent on driving Islam, and rest of us, back to the middle ages. Yet, we are powerless to do anything about it.
