The challenge that Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) poses is not just to Iraq’s stability but also to the whole world’s security. So what can we do to resist it? ＿＿（37）＿＿ For example, the US President’s decision to send 300 advisers to Iraq is a good first step, but their ability to deter ISIS will be limited. Second, we also need to understand that our lack of an effective Syria strategy has allowed ISIS to take hold and flourish in the region. ＿＿（38）＿＿ We need to begin to tackle the root causes of the problem in Syria by overtly arming the moderate Syrian rebels that are fighting ISIS in that country even as we simultaneously tackle the challenge they currently pose to Iraq. ＿＿（39）＿＿ This is all a response to same problem, and must be part of a unified strategy. Third, as ISIS has gained ground in Iraq, its wealth and ability to make money have increased. We need to stop their ability to sell the Syrian and Iraqi oil they attempt to market to the outside world. ＿＿（40）＿＿ Jordan deserves special attention and assistance. Jordan is already dealing an influx of hundreds of thousands of refugees from the conflict in Syria and Jordan is a likely target of ISIS’s attention.
