The development of this thread over the past week or so has been very interesting. Initially, many people, understandably wanted SB to be left 'to rot' where she is, alongwith all the other British jihadis. We all abhor their crimes, their philosophy, and all surely are repelled and disgusted by what has been done to the Yazidi people, especially the women and children. Emotions run high as mention is made of atrocities and deaths here and in Europe. But, then, slowly, we have (mostly) realised just how difficult a moral problem this is, there can be no better place to foment hatred and further jihadi recruitment than a deprived, desperate, stinking camp with little food and facilities, a place where children are dying. So, how to repatriate individuals? Each country cannot just go in, select their own 'homegrown' terrorists, bring them home, subject them to the full force of the law and hopefully re-integrate them so they are not a threat anymore. If only it was that simple. I think what I am trying to say is that after the initial knee jerk reaction which many of us had, we are beginning to realise that it is a very difficult problem albeit one that has to be solved.
