Being energy independent makes all the sense in the world, but we have to go one step further. We have to be the major supplier of oil/gas to Europe, and maybe Japan. we are getting that much energy from the Middle East. By not buying oil from them will not hurt them. They have plenty of other customers. China is one of them,. We sent a lot of our production to China, because of their cheap labor. We are our worse enemy.

There is no way in hell that we can't destroy ISIS in Syria, and Iraq. Are we talking about 30/40 thousand lunatics in a confined area. The people in this area don't seem to be doing anything about them, but cutting and running. That is not a bad thing. Maybe now our NATO, and Arab allies may now get off their asses, and put together a large force of troops together and attack ISIS. Do what we did in the IRAQ wars. Bomb the hell out of them from the ground and sky for a long period of time, and then send the ground troops in. So worrying about collateral damage.

However, you can't stop small groups of terrorists from attacking us, or other countries. These people are just no damn good. You are not going to stop terrorism.
