Unfortunately I also read that several hundred children have already died from dehydration. This is a terrible world and all in the name of religion.

The problem with a terrorist group is that there is nothing to bomb. Yes, we can make some surgical air strikes when they are in a specific location like this, and kill a few of them. But for the most part, these people are spread all over the world. Some may even be walking among us. Unlike any other conflict in history, there is no central government or land to bomb into the ground. Don't forget, Iraq is a country that we helped set up. They are now allies and we are over there at the request of the Iraqi government. We can't very well help them out by bombing Iraq into the ground.
