Countries need to secure their own sovereign borders by routing out extremists. Domestic policy regarding religious extremism should be addressed in a way that citizens can feel safe in their own lives.
There are very few reasons to engage in a forever war in the middle east if that domestic front is exposed to violence.
This is not a new normal. This is an exposure that has to be resolved. It is possible to screen individuals that are adverse to a peaceful domestic existence.
In the USA defining a peaceful domestic existence is very difficult to define with all the adverse gun activity in the country. If anything gun violence has become the new normal because Republican majorities lack the back bone to actually legislate domestic peace.

Washington - The Obama administration (click here) is reviewing procedures for vetting would-be immigrants, with an eye toward examining applicants' online presence, to close security gaps in the U.S. visa system, the White House said Monday.
White House spokesman Josh Earnest said the Homeland Security and State departments have been asked to review the process for screening people who apply for visas and to return with specific recommendations.
The Homeland Security Department said it is specifically reviewing policies on when authorities at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services can look at social media posts as part of the vetting process for would-be immigrants applying for certain visas.
"I think the president's top priority here is the national security and safety of the American people," Earnest said. "And that will continue to be the case with ensuring that this K-1 visa program is effectively implemented."...
There is absolutely no reason for the USA to continue a military presence in Afghanistan, unless, Americans are arrested for human rights abuses to be held for hearings at the World Court. Otherwise, there is no reason for American troops in Afghanistan.
The issue with the Taliban has been defined. The peace with the Taliban is political, unless the Taliban just want to kill the citizens of Afghanistan. If that is the case the power sharing government should be able to rally the country to end any killing mood of the Taliban.
The USA needs to remove any munitions that will cause a strengthening of the Taliban. The fact is the presence of the USA in Afghanistan brings with it large amounts of munitions that can be obtained by the Taliban. The presence of USA hardware and munitions adds to the domestic insecurity of the people of Afghanistan. The power sharing government needs to discern loyal troops within it's borders and protect from any uprising of the Taliban after the USA is out of the country. Afghanistan will have a far better opportunity for peaceful existence if the USA is gone from it's landscape.
