Only if it's a Gulf-War type invasion with all the major players and we use overwhelming force, nothing like the invasion-on-the-cheap stuff Rumsfeld tried in Iraq.  We start at the Turkish border and move down, wiping out every last insurgent stronghold while securing the area.  Of course, Syria and Russia won't be too happy about this, which is a problem.

ISIS is not a state, so America can't declare war on it... the US should help the Syrian government bring this roving band of criminals to justice.

There's nothing that says the US can only declare war on another state.  A declaration of war is nothing more than a joint resolution of Congress, it can be declared against anything we want.  It just so happens that previous Congress' have only used it against other states
