The classic study of all the conflicts show that eventually, wherever rebels were armed to fight an organized army , resulted into unmanageable Terrorist organizations. It starts from the Afghan war, where the Mujhaideens were armed by CIA to fight Russians and eventually the Russians lost, but not before many armed groups taking over Afghanistan and Taliban becoming the host to Al Qaida.
Much that the Russians themselves were looking for an exit from Afghanistan and were more then happy to transfer the power to a transition Government, but CIA wanted the humiliating defeat of the Russians. What followed was a catastrophe of unimaginable consequences. The many rebel groups laid their own claims to power and Taliban practically created a brutal state with Al Qaida being its nucleus.
The same rebels, who were armed by the Americans, now designed and executed the first global terrorist attack on 9/11. Rest is history.
Now let us look at IS, again the very same story. Rebels are armed to fight the Syrian army and it all goes messy and finally, what is the result is exactly the same situation as what happened in erstwhile Afghanistan. Here the situation was further compounded by the Iraqi army, who left all the arms in the hands of Sunni Militias. But technically the IS was a baby born out or Syrian conflict and less out of Iraqi conflict.
Study the case of LTTE, exactly the same story. Where rebel groups were armed to fight Sri lankan army and finally became a draconian terrorist group.
LeT in Pakistan, designed to fight the Indian army, finally becomes a catastrophe for Pakistan .
These rebels group in their own power struggle branch out and newer and newer groups get made and each marks its presence with heightened brutality to get recruits and funding.
Africa is a clear example, where for Decades, these kind of rebels have lived out fighting organized Governments.
The clear lesson to learn from this is that as long as we will have this policy of funding such rascals, who are willing to lay their lives for a cause, which looks nice at that time, the monster will only turn back and kill us at the first given opportunity. It is about time, we stop doing this altogether.
The IS case has become far too complicated now. If the world does not get into a proper war in finishing the IS , it will only have more and more Paris like attacks and Sydney and Peshawar. Time has come to have a UN Anti Terrorist war Force, who strikes with permission after UN security resolution and does not have to get into which country taking what lead.
