If so it's time we let rip, don't you agree?

Are you suggesting we strap bombs onto our lads and send them in to blow themselves up? Or maybe we take hostages/prisoners/whatever and cut their heads off on TV?
No of course I don't think we should fight them in the same way. I do think we should go in properly and stop playing with planes. Nobody thinks airstrikes will destroy ISIS, boots on the ground are the only thing that might.
If you are for the war against ISIS you have to accept that bad things are going to happen here and there is nothing the authorities can do to stop it. They government can be on whatever alert level they want but they can't stop a lone person jumping in a truck and driving it through the Mall in Blackburn.
What if some local radical who has lost family in the war, sorry Margaret, conflict, decides he is not happy Hyndburn's MP voted yes and decides to pop up to Baxenden and kill his family? It's inevitable that killings will happen in the UK and other countries and the authorities are powerless to stop it.
