2. I think as ISIS attacks more non-Western countries

particularly countries like Japan that have almost zero involvement in the ME, the argument that they are just the natural result of Western actions thus we get what we deserve dissipates.

Whatever the cause of ISIS's formation, they are here now, and they are clearly indiscriminate in their actions, and I do believe they are one of the few entities that simply cannot be reasoned or negotiated with. I didn't think that about the Taliban, or even AQ. ISIS seems to me a fairly unique entity.
