Move on

We have an ongoing "pass the parcel" situation here in the West Mids with "travellers" who descend on some piece of land or other, are eventually evicted, and then move on to somewhere else, where the whole performance is repeated - in other words, the basic problem is never solved, just moved from place to place. Much the same thing, it seems to me, is going on in the Middle East with ISIS (or whatever we're calling them at present).  I was somewhat depressed to hear that Trump, who is currently in Saudi Arabia, intends to give a speech suggesting that leaders in the Middle East should "drive out" terrorists - which of course opens up the possibility that they will simply move somewhere else.  What we need is a solution, not just a relocation.
