As I have argued for a couple of years now. we cannot ignore the broader conflict in Syria and must lead our allies in pursuing a comprehensive strategy to not just defeat ISIS but to also achieve a negotiated resolution of the Syrian conflict. Over 4 million people have fled Syria. The Government of Syria has murdered over 200.000 of its own citizens. I saw an interview today where someone was asking one of the refugees from Syria what their preference wasto go to Europe or to go to the United States. The refugees said what most refugees said: I want to go home. but I need a safe haven there. We should have a nofly zone in Syria and provide for people the ability to stay in their own country. Military force alone will not solve this problem.
