President Obama faces a daunting battle (click here) to win congressional authorization for a military strike on Syria, a USA TODAY Network survey finds. But a large number of undecideds may be open to persuasion.

It is time the region stand up for their own sovereign status. There is every indication the countries in the region are well armed and prepared to degrade and defeat the Islamic State.
It is amazing to realize a group of angry Muslim men that were once the Ba'athists of Iraq had the idea they could actually defeat any alliance of the regions countries by forming a so called caliphate. It's crazy. The countries in the region are prepared to defeat those that act against them. The USA should be proud of it's leadership to create a strong alliance, but, the potential for such an alliance among countries in the region already existed. The USA doesn't have a larger role by taking over the battlefield. That would be completely inappropriate and a power grab.
Iraq is not a USA territory.
