https://youtube/watch?v=i357G1HuFcI ISIS is determined to redraw borders created by colonial powers in the early 20th Century called The Sykes-Picot Agreement which set the stage for todays violent conflict in Iraq and the Levant. ISIS released a promotional video entitled The End of Sykes-Picot. The 1916 Sykes-Picot agreement divided Ottoman Asia into British and French zones of influence. Britain was assigned the Baghdad and Basra districts — Iraq, Transjordan, and Palestine. Modern day Syria and Lebanon were given to France. ISIS is determined to right the historical injustice perpetrated by great powers. It wants to rectify a century of humiliation arising from foreign occupation. Dialogue is typically a tool for conflict resolution, but ISIS is beyond dialogue. It wants to slaughter opponents, not talk to them.
