Many are coming via Libya. They used to have an effective tyrant in charge, like Iraq had as well. But then nameless governments decided it would make things better to get rid of the tyrants and replace them with err nothing with the former and a corrupt ineffective democracy with the latter, which created a power vacuum, which was then exploited by Al Qaeda but the US largely destroyed their leadership through drone attacks, so now we have something much more cuddly, PC and benevolent...... ISIS.
There is a very simple lesson, if you are going to topple tyrants then support the country and build democratic institutions for the next generation or two, yes it take 20 to 40 years of assistance, not nothing in the case of Libya or in Iraq 5 years with a hasty total troop withdrawal by a clueless Nobel peace prize winner, who ignored his generals, where he was working to a re-election timetable.
Guess what, the generals were right and he was wrong, not once but now twice where they also said not putting boots on the ground would fail as well. The third big fail is on its way where the Taliban are winning again in Afghanistan.
And there there is the war in Europe, but the US just might have got this one right at last, by training Ukrainian troops before considering providing them with defensive weapons.
