The entire thing will probably collapse in less than 5 years, so I really don't get why they even bother.

The real problem was never ISIS. If anything, ISIS is just a symptom of inherent problems with the people of the middle east.
The real underlying causes of this crisis are definitely demographic and probably even genetic in nature. The most devout Sunni adherents are (in general) low-iq, low-openness, highly disagreeable people. They're being commanded to reproduce like rabbits, passing these barbaric genes to their offspring. The prospects for another islamic golden age (as dubious as it was) are looking pretty grim.
If they fuck up their Khalifa, it probably won't make a difference in the long run. Really the only thing ISIS even does is play into their apocalyptic narrative.
We should have never started removing dictators. Assad, Hussein, Gaddafi et al were a lynchpin keeping these dangerous elements in line. There's no way to install more of their ilk now--they're relict of a different time, back before the truly devout were so numerous and bold, when it was possible to keep an army organized on something other than religious fervor-- The middle east you see in black and white photos from the 1950s.
