Can ISIS be negotiated with is the current question on my mind...
doubtful - their entire MO is to bring about the apocalypse

I doubt it. There are most likely some that regret joining but I think the best way forward is to stop young guys and gals from joining in the first place and helping them feel less isolated in their home countries with more money spent on youth work and actually making people feel integrated and valued. Age and gender seem to have more to do with this than religion or race.
Those that have already joined basically all have to go (albeit quietly and without all the fanfare they gave jihadi John). It feels very uncomfortable typing something like that but I see no benefit to humanity by wasting resources or risking lives by imprisoning any of them. Hopefully that doesn't make me a Nazi loon - I just think we need to do a better job of not making all these disaffected youths, and maybe have a slightly less aggressive foreign policy.

The lefties on my FB are (perhaps rightly so) upset about civilian deaths which are unavoidable.
But it's not that ISIS aren't totally barbaric.
Though obv. if you bomb a place w/o asking people there, well... maybe they prefer ISIS.
