Things are unfolding gradually. The "Islamic State" is not just revealing the facts, but also the flaws. What the United States hides differs from what it declares. What the U.S. is concocting hides many abuses, while the world is busy catching its breath and trying to understand the kill-by-the-sword ideology of the "Islamic State"* that we see unfolding from the shameful scenes they perpetrate.

In any case, it seems that the international mobilization being talked about is just an American fabrication. This configuration is not surprising to those countries that are friends of the United States, that listen to its advice, or are in harmony with its wishes. America will not take into consideration the advice of the international community, but only what dictates its own interests, and only its own views derived from its own world.

While President Barack Obama has determined that he needs three years to finish off the "Islamic State," many are laughing at this irrational viewpoint: first, because it is far from reality; second, because it is linked to the three years remaining in his presidential term; third, because with every new president, many equations keep changing all the time.

It is ironic then that Obama will continue to fight the "Islamic State" for the rest of his years as president. How will he do that? No one knows. Is he going to use inadequate and insufficient airstrikes only? The airstrikes may kill the terrorists but will not eradicate terrorism. This terrorist world is also alert to what may be coming its way to attack it. Thus, it will have a presence in other places, as "al-Qaida"* did.
