ISIS and Conflict Resolution

It was the President policy that US soldiers did not need to land in Iraq and Syria rather US withdraw local armies to fight against ISIS. The idea of containment policy was pretty right that the ISIS should struggle and wage in war against their local authorities and then the war has no relations with the West as expected. The strategy also contained president initiation to include Iran in negotiation with the ISIS leaders.

There are two crucial points inherent in the policy firstly, to show US unwillingness to make the situation getting worse and secondly, Iran involvement to mediate the war should be putting in serious agenda. However, it seems that Iran involvement in the crisis centre is impossible because many members of Congress disagree if ‘red devil’ suddenly become their good friend.

Unfortunately, there is misconception in understanding the root of the problem. In classic war it almost constantly emerged the root from the same pattern such as economy scarcity and struggle for power. But ISIS is in different direction, they intend to propose ism which could bring the world in peace and prosper, no matter whether they could make it real, but that what they believed.

Underlining belief and ideology to bring the world in order and prosper is critical issue to address and that the points to put on the table to discuss, not by war and by including Iran, as US president once suggested, and the world prominent religion leaders, the unending war might not need to happen.
