news.sky.com: IS Still Gaining Ground Despite Airstrikes

So what really is the point? It would seem that we played right into the hands of the terrorists and Russian bombing just takes us closer to potential world conflagration as their bombing now aids ISIS and disturbs Turkey a sleeping pandora's box.

What Is the Free-Market Solution to a Liquidity Trap? Higher Inflation! - Equitable Growth
