Isis is a direct product of the West's inaction

No, its a result of the cack-handed U.S. foreign policy in Iraq and Iran (not to say the whole Middle East) most recently exemplified by George Dumbya Bush & his lap-dog Tony Blair.

By their bogus Iraq war they've created this situation, and all the hand-wringing in the world won't change that fact.

Not to say that this situation is their responsibility alone; this clusterfuck goes back before Reagan and Iran-Contra.

Its the chickens coming home to roost one more time, a.k.a. blowback.

The U.S. didn't learn dick from the Vietnam experience, & its deja vu all over again.
