India has experienced such upheavals in the past. A aggressor by the name of Nadir Shah continued to massacre the masses in Delhi for three days before the then Mughal ruler offered him his entire treasury in lieu of peace! The British rulers in India mounted no lesser atrocities on the masses. The worst has been the proxy war of the ISI (Inter Services Intelligence) Agency of Pakistan Army, using terrorists like the Al Qaeda, JuD, LeT etc going on for several decades now and which had been avuncularly ignored by America and other super-powers until the 9/11 hurt them so rudely. The world has not yet recovered from that incident and its after effects till date. It is worse than the nuclear bombing of Japan in WW-II by America. The economy of America and Europe has never recovered fully from the after effects of 9/11, whereas the ISIS has proved itself the next cause of worry, rather greater worry than 9/11. It is no more “ethnic” cleansing or localized problem of one country. It is a real threat to world peace and security: whether the human society lives in an open liberal democratic form of government or a savage theocratic form of the government prescribed by the ISIS. The ISIS does not favor “peace or peaceful co-existence”. It rejects outright every single tenet of democracy or modernity. It lives to see the whole world “Islamic”. Bur that is not the nature of Nature. So unless the root cause of this barbarity is finished, hope for world peace remains elusive. The world is going to suffer more barbarity. The ISIS cadres are trained modern war veterans, unlike their medieval predecessors, and also know the handling of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons of mass destruction. They are trying to get hold of these weapons. They might get help from the ISI of Pakistan. They could have come to possess these weapons had they succeeded in capturing the entire resources of Iraq. But for the American intervention at the right time, they were going to succeed in their demonic mission. That America has effectively checked their march is laudable. This should not be allowed to be used as a tool of American foreign policy to derive other narrow benefits excepting world peace and security, human survival, civilized society and culture. If these are assured, democracy survives; otherwise the ISIS lives.
