The decimation of the Taliban will hardly resolve the different issues plaguing the Middle East. ISIS as an organization was created because the old Republican Guards of Saddam Hussein had grievances against the State of Iraq and its international coalition backers, who failed to deliver on their promises. The entire infrastructure of the Intelligence services and the military of the Baath Party was disbanded by the Americans on the 23rd of May 2003, because a consensus of dialogue took place on planned monthly pension pay packages to solders and their eventual reinstatement to the New Iraqi Army. However since America supported sectarian politics in Iraq, by giving the state machinery power to the Shia sect community, the new commanders rejected these solders into the new Iraqi Army. They became disillusioned with the State of Iraq and joined and developed their own organization, thus its not surprising to hear that the vast majority of ISIS top leadership is from the old Baath Party. Therefore, the Afghan problem has nothing to do with Iraq and the entire blame belongs to the successive American Government's and the Iraqi State. The Afghan Taliban are a political reality and all the major powers are going to the direction of negotiations where power would be shared between different factions.
Always look at the bigger picture and the flow of events from a historical perspective. .I have been following AQ's policies since the time Osama was killed. Osama concentrated on enmity with the US, while zawahiri preached about global jihad and places of implementation. You are pointing out symptoms and a particular local cause that a global jihad network has utilised depending on local trouble. Another set of local factors create atmosphere for jihad in another country.
There is a global flow of men, material and ideology which many people miss out in when they get stuck with local issues.
A very simple question..
What does a British born Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Somalian, Algerian have in common or cause with the issues of the Baath Party or Assad's policies in Iraq or syria?
They end up advocating Islamic state and it's actions in Iraq as the solution for the islamic world in conferences in Britain - Why is that?.
I hope the french don't get involved in local quagmire and miss out on seeing where the snake head lies..
