Better to seek out anyone who opts to eschew a Muslim state Ala Turkey.I agree that the moderates are hard to find at the moment. But when IS is defeated some one will want to take over. We will have to negotiate with someone. It might be the Kurds but they would want land. It might be the position to Assad but I think we might have to negotiate with many groups both Sunnies and Shites..

Feel good platitudes sound nice but only wish full thinking. Moderates do not have the stomach to battle lunatics for power.Someone will indeed want to take their place....and those people will be "moderates" because....?
What exactly are you envisioning here - just negotiating to say "hey we are talking"? What exactly do you want to see accomplished in Syria for example? Who are the ones you think would make that happen?
Saying "let's negotiate with moderates" is not foreign policy.
N.Ireland only coincidentally concerns religion.There were similar divisions in Northern Ireland. But eventually Catholic and Protestants did agree to share government. In many countries Sunnies and Shia shared the same Mosques
Part of Britan is the issue.I think it was Religion that play the leading part in the Irish waR, It is only the Protestant majority that kept Northern Ireland as pat of Britain or UK<
Start with the small fish . . .Does this include the Saudi royal family?
The US has also in the past funded terrorist organizations
No, George did not lead a terrorist group against Britan. He led a revolution.Did not George Washington lead a terrorist group against Britain.
