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?

The moral imperative is incumbant on all humanity. Its doing something to protect those who cannot protect themselves where ever we can.

Your argument is that because they arent bombing Boko Haram or other such groups, they must have ulterior motives in bombing ISIS. I dont buy into such a cynical world view. The reason the dont bomb Boko Haram is not because they dont care, but because the situation in Nigeria has not spiriled out of control the way it has in Iraq. They bomb ISIS because not to do so would mean turning a blind eye to genocide. If they could avoid doing so they would, because involving themselves in such conflicts can always have unforseen consequences, but because the situation is do dire and so acute, action must be taken.

Chechnya.. There is no comparison between iRAQ and Chechnya. The militants there cannot compare to the insanity of ISIS. You cannot draw a comparison as you attempted to do.
