Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank all of our witnesses for being here today.
I just want to follow up a bit on that last question. I would like to get your opinion on the role of the military. Do we have to wait until a professional army is put in place in Iraq before ISIS can be dealt with successfully?
Professor Akhavan, you talk about dealing with hearts and minds, truth commissions, and those kinds of things, but what needs to precede that? How important is that establishment of the professional military in Iraq to a successful conclusion here?
