We're all doomed!
The US (mostly), but with EU support, policy has created all the mess in the first place. It works OK for the US though.
The options I see are:
a) bombing and killing mostly civilians (yes, women and children too)
b) getting killed in Syria (sending in troops)
c) sending other people to get killed - smaller countries members of NATO, or local people - like Al Khaida was started in Afganistan.
d) working for half the pay when all the extra labour comes to town, good for the companies
e) sealing the borders and letting them starve
Most things done in a hurry need to be done again - patiently.
