Certainly I'm against war but there is an immediate need for those internally displaced refugees to go back home and go back to a normal life, and the only way to do that is to defeat ISIL immediately. At the same time we need to go through the process of reconciliation. We need to go through the process of nation-building. Unfortunately, in the Middle East, third world countries, in general, and Iraq, in particular, have tribal societies. People do not have loyalty to the state. They have loyalty to their tribes. They have loyalty to their religious leaders, but certainly not to the states.
