awareness on terrorism and its place in today’s world as a whole, and to utilize research to
propose a solution to the worldwide epidemic. The proposed solution will be a method to resolve
ISIS’ presence in the Middle East and reduce their local threat there.
The US should back this plan to finally rid the world of the threat of ISIS. Not only has the
terrorist group trespassed against us, they have also slighted many of the world’s nations and
remain a formidable and feared force in the area they currently occupy.
Theory and History: Many scholars educated on the affairs of ISIS in past years would agree
that eradicating the group by physical means would not solve the problem. In fact, it could
aggravate more people to join their cause and harbor malice against the US as a result. ISIS’
ultimate goal is to create a worldwide Sunni caliphate. Brought about by the US meddling in
Iraq, essentially part of the blame of ISIS’ creation can be cast upon us. By interfering in Saudi
Arabia in defending against the threat of invasion of Saddam Hussein, we therefore made an
enemy of al-Qaeda, and eventually ISIS after an al-Qaeda branch off undertook that name. We
originally offended and became a target of al-Qaeda’s anger because of our role in defending
Saudi Arabia’s oil refineries from Hussein, a role they had wanted as well. Consequently, ISIS’
specific goal cannot be crushed, as it will only transfer from the mind of one to another. As
unwarranted as it is, negotiations must be made to come to a peaceful resolution with ISIS. If
they cannot come to compromise and reach an agreeable decision for both the US and
themselves, then so be it, the force of the US army will ensue upon them.
Overview: The action plan below will consist of the US meeting with Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi to
reach a documented treaty, with the goal of establishing compromises to please both sides. This
action plan is based off of prior research, such as evidence that ISIS has not yet been defeated
through physical repression alone, and likely will not be. The only way to come to a final, lasting
solution on the matter of ISIS is to conduct negotiations, not wage war.
