In the Iraqi city of Mosul, the water has become undrinkable because supplies of chlorine have dried up, said a journalist living there, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to protect his safety. Hepatitis is spreading, and flour is becoming scarce, he said. “Life in the city is nearly dead, and it is as though we are living in a giant prison,” he said. More than one world leader said ISIS is not a state. I disagree with that assessment. I do not know what is a state. I do not know how they start. However, it is evident that a higher power allowing bombs to fall from the heavens has told us this new state has come to an end. There are no states,no matter how well armed they are that can continue to exist long without international trade and the support and recognition of the other nation states on earth. That is not fair, but it is just, and it is right because it is the process that David Ricardo recognized calling it Comparative Advantage. When any nation thinks it has a monopoly on external and internal violence and medieval law enforcement and modern torture practices it is ripe for the fall before it even begins. You should have articulated the five rational points and sought integration and federation with in a tri federate Iraq. The same force that opens a window quickly will close it just as fast. (That down and dirty deal you made with Assad? When that was the first piece of old wood you should have tossed into the fire if you were going to refine yourself and write the five points of tri regional federation. We some say one can not trust Assad that is said with good reason!)
