My comment to Thomas Friedman's editorial "Isis and Vietnam" is
At least Vietnam had a government in the north that was capable, whether we agreed with it or not. Syria currently doesn't. The most effective counter to ISIS and Assad would be to develop a Sunni Moderate Government in exile based in the Jordanian refugee camps. First order of business is a political unity capable of governing, policing and directing a militia similar to what the Kurds have northern Iraq. Without a well developed moderate ally to come in the vacuum after ISIS and Assad have been degraded is a waste of effort.
