South Asia Center Nonresident Senior Fellow Barbara Slavin writes for Voice of America on ISIS’ deadly attack in Paris and the need for a multinational, multidimensional strategy to combat ISIS:
Among the most unhelpful suggestions in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks in Paris was Republican Mike Huckabee’sproposal that President Barack Obama cancel the recently signed nuclear agreement with Iran.
Huckabee’s reasoning: “Radical Islamists, whether Sunni or Shia, are a clear and present danger to civilization.”
Never mind that Iran is among the few nations sending ground troops to fight the group that calls itself the Islamic State (IS).
