Antibodies to ISIS: Sunni Arab Settlements in Southeast Syria

The recent bombings in Belgium show that ISIS is very good at creating chaos and forcing the allies to react with the short term idea of wiping the swarm which incites even more chaos much like swatting at a hornet’s nest. What is not thought of by the allies is what takes the place of ISIS once a region is destroyed.  Until a long term development program of well functioning political unions is undertaken to counter political dysfunction will there be an answer.  Currently the best example is the home grown and self organized political union that is Iraq’s Kurdistan region.  Its pesh merga militia is a motivated force to make a homeland for the Kurdish people and its reconquering of Kobani in Syria is an example of how to defeat ISIS permanently.  But the Kurds are not an imperial force and can not be expected to conquer and dominate Sunni Arab regions.  In a manner much like agricultural hot houses, home grown self organized political unions must be cultivated and protected in peaceful enclaves and to make them moderate they must be prosperous.

It has been this blog’s continuous suggestion that settlements of Syrian refugees be funded and developed in Syria’s southeast border north of Jordan’s refugee camps and that these settlements be protected by Jordan’s army and allied air support.  That they be generously funded  with direct to citizen debit card payments system so that moderate self organized political unions develop by people with a free to choose goods and services market system.  Fund these settlements so generously that Syrians in Europe move back to a Shangri La in their homeland.  Not only will these prosperous settlements defuse the appeal of ISIS they give the region moderate political unions with which to occupy what the allies degrade and destroy.
