The U.S. should condition the aid needed to fix this dam on the expulsion of all ISIS jihadists by the residents of Mosul, who stand to lose the most if it breaks. It might be a way to take the city away from ISIS without using troops. A few thousand jihadists with light arms could never have stayed in control of a city of a million people this long, unless many of the residents--those people we are led to believe are innocent victims--were willingly letting them shelter there. Let them force the lice out into open country, where we can exterminate them from the air. Most Muslims in Iraq and other countries in that region hate Americans because we are infidels, even if they are clever enough to smile to our faces, and this country should be calculating and clear-headed in all its dealings with them. We should not give them anything, unless it is designed to further U.S. interests.
