“The notion that our vital interests are at risk, and that a major deployment is required, is worse than foolish, it’s dangerous,” says Dartmouth’s Daniel Benjamin in a New York Times opinion piece about why it is not necessary for the United States to increase its engagement with ISIS.

Benjamin is the director of the John Sloan Dickey Center for International Understanding.
