I'm sorry, I should have clarified. I was delving into a hypothetical future situation. Let's say the region stabilizes in the next 10 years or so. ISIS is diminished, etc etc.
If you don't subscribe to moral relativism, do you advocate to intervene when a ME government institutes Sharia law? When women are ritually murdered and it is considered justified? Do you morally condemn them and advocate for action? Or is it "wrong" but not our place?
As an aside, totally agree with the "owning the mess" part and ISIS being a long term threat. We have the moral obligation to figure it out over there.
