I'm more sympathetic toward action vs ISIS but opposed the invasion of Iraq 2003 because that was an invasion. Most iraqis didnt want to be 'liberated' as they knew how much death and suffering they'd have to endure in the process. But here we are helping allies. Most Iraqi's don't want IS, that is why they had voted a Shia majority parliament. By aiding the new Iraqi goverment we are possibly saving thousands of civilians, maybe tens of thousands who would be excecuted by IS.
I wouldnt want to send masses of troops however, only to get bogged down doing ultimately futile policing duties. But strategic air strikes is a good move, always provided that we don't get all trigger happy. If IS fighters take cover in civilian areas, the answer is simple, we don't attack. If they are advancing on Baghdad through the open, then we attack.
If the Iraq goverment still can't beat ISIS then, so be it. They fail but at least we tried to help. But i'm sure with the aid of the kurds, and the shia people, which makes up the majority of Iraqi people we can win it. Sadly the Sunni soldiers can't be trusted, they don't have the will to fight IS and they may even jump ship in some cases.
