The shockingly rapid and violent spread of the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq is a clear and present danger



by Joseph Lieberman


It would be wrong to view President Obama's decision to order airstrikes against the Islamic State in Iraq and to give weapons to Kurdish fighters as a continuation of the war in Iraq. 
It is more accurate to see it as a mission to prevent another war in Afghanistan. We have a chance to stop the Islamic State before it creates a sanctuary in Iraq and Syria that it could use to strike the United States, just as al Qaeda used its sanctuary in Afghanistan to kill thousands of Americans on 9/11. That, to his credit, is what the president has begun to do.
