I think every decent person in the world would like to see them shot, blown to atoms, or crushed under the tracks of a tank. They are worse than the Nazis, far worse.

I agree. They're scumbags and should be eradicated. Sure pretty much every sane Westerner would like to see that happen. But put Western boots on the ground in Syria and Iraq, enough to do the job and do it right? I think you overestimate the public's will to send their sons and daughters to that godforsaken corner of the earth to do that.
