Boko haram doesnt control vast swathes of territory, boko haram isnt making millions in riches, boko haram isnt threatening to destabilize an entire region, boko harams activities pale in comparison to mass displacement and murder of Christians, Shia, Yazidi etc in Iraq.

granted when i say unseen, i mean in recent history. you recall that Nato bombed the Serbians aswell. And the Chechans werent exactly defensless either… and chechnya today is doing far better then Iraq,

There is also a moral imperative to attack Boko Haram, but then there is still a functioning and capable state that can do that… in the case of IS, there is no such force to counter them, other then the West…

Your first point is more on the mark. It has nothing to do with morality or human suffering, though that’s a great way to sell it.

Nato bombed the Serbs over Kosovo…not Bosnia. Different conflict. Different response. Morality nowhere in site.

As for Chechnya doing better…who knows…maybe the Yazdis will be better off after their brutalization. Are you suggesting we give ISIS a chance?
