That's pretty much what would have to be done if a system of return was put in place, IMO. While it might act as a filter that blocked many "true believers"/false repenters from getting through, it would still allow the more plausible, and the more interrogation-hardened, to slip through. We need to acknowledge that if the state permits such things, that it won't be the state that pays in blood if/when something goes wrong.
What is the answer then? Do you have one? I certainly don't.
I asked someone at work yesterday the question, 'Given unlimited powers, what would you do to sort this?'. The answer, when it finally came, was 'Fuck knows'.
That about sums it up really.
I would advocate bombing the cunts into atoms, however, there are civilians in the areas they hold, civilians that cannot get out.
Another option is troops in. Are we willing to send our young people to die there though? Perhaps we must accept that to end this, blood must be spilled, and will be spilled, whether it is service people, or civilians such as those slaughtered in London. At least service deaths would be meaningful in terms of a good outcome.
We are up against an enemy that is not afraid to die, many would embrace death. Negotiation is not an option, but neither is doing nothing. Had we put troops in at the genesis of IS, then it would be finished now. They will not be able to win against substantial numbers of regular troops.
Whether or not IS is the result of Western actions in the area is immaterial, we can't roll the clock back. We have to deal with the situation that now exists.
How though?
