Phyllis Bennis has, as usual, some great ideas.

- 1. Support an intensive new diplomatic initiative involving all parties in the region. Get to work, John Kerry
- 2. Open direct talks with Iran & Russia based on shared opposition to ISIS –
- with Iran to jointly push for ending anti-Sunni sectarianism in the Iraqi government, &
- with Russia to work towards ending the multi-party civil war in Syria
- 3. Pressure US allies in the region to stop their governments & people from arming & facilitating the movement of ISIS fighters (this includes Saudi Arabia, Qatar & the US folly of trying to fund "moderate rebels")
- 4. Shift war funds to a massive increase in humanitarian assistance
