I wish I could count how many times I've had the warlords argument used on me in debate. What really bakes my noodle is the flippant way they dismiss the fact this is exactly what we have now. When the response is "that's what we have now" they scream "NO IT'S NOT."
I like to cite examples of ISIS building roads and producing infrastructure and schools in their areas of control to further splatter their brains across the proverbial pavement.
