Nigel Farage, leader of the U.K. Independence Party, says neither his country nor the United States should have any troops fighting on the ground in Iraq to wipe out the Islamic State (ISIS).
Appearing Wednesday on Fox News Channel's "Your World with Neil Cavuto," Farage pointed to previous efforts in Libya and said such actions have only created more radical Islamists.
"We bombed Libya four years ago. Made Libya worse," Farage said. "We've now made Libya a country in which it's impossible to live as a Christian. Let's think carefully before we get involved in complicated military and social issues."
Farage is in the U.S. to speak at this week's Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) meeting near Washington, D.C.
Cavuto pointed out that many of the conference attendees might not welcome his message to take less action against the terrorist group.
Farage said that over the past 15 years, Great Britain and America have actually made anti-Western feelings stronger. He instead favors the current method of providing logistic support and weapons while Arab countries lead the fighting.
"This ISIS threat across that whole region is a real, genuine evil," he said. "It won't be beaten by conventional warfare in a short-turned period of time."
