The Middle East has to reject Radical Islam. Us doing it just pushes the problem down the road.
Really, the rest of the world needs to start sectioning itself off from relying on America spearheading everything.
Europe needs to handle Ukraine once and for all, and use force if necessary.
The Middle East needs to form a coalition and help out Iraq -- anything as opposed to ISIS which has repeatedly stated it wants to remake the Caliphate is better. I'd even accept Al-Qaeda over ISIS at this point.
I don't think the American people can stomach fixing everything for everyone anymore.

When it comes to rejecting an idea, you can't just force it. It's an organic process.

This is a bit of a double edged sword. One of the main reasons the USA enjoys such a sweeping Casa Belli on whoever angers us is that we are the only policeman. We have trade freedoms we don't even realize we have thanks to the world's most powerful navy. No American ships are being harassed by other navies, American shipping and commerce is respected and protected, as well as the commerce of our allies. This doesn't happen to North Korea, or Iran, or Cuba, or any other nation we deem fit.
If the shoe is on the other foot, it is a really, really bad thing.
