This new jihadi force of ISIS is an enigma in the Middle East.  When one looks at the type of arsenal and equipment these rebels use to fight the Iraqi forces, one wonders who is behind these jihadis financing their operations.  I have read and heard a few countries - kuwait, Qatar etc., a Sunis set of Muslim countries - abetting these jihadis.  If that is true, is there anything the western nations can do - diplomatically, economically and militarily - to put pressure on these financiers to stop these operations, because failing which will have a very dire consequences for the western nations.  Just imagine, if an Islamic State, as jihadis planned to declare, is born, where this wave of caliphate is going to end.  First of all, the world will witness a complete massacre of Shia community and then they will turn to the non-Muslims - Christians, Jews and Hindus etc.  Yes, it is true it will not happen overnight, but then it may become very costly - financially, economically as well as in the shape of innocent human lives - to overcome.  Is that what the western world is waiting for.  The best solution for Iraq is to establish a government in Baghdad which will have Sunis and other minorities included in the government with the understanding that these ISIS members will stop their operation and work together to run their lives.  If this is not doable at all for whatever reason, then this writer holds an opinion of decimating these jihadis from the roots once and for all.  IS THE WESTERN WORLD READY TO INITIATE AN ACTION NOW OR WAIT TO PAY A HIGHER PRICE LATER ON WHICH MAY BE TOO LATE AND TOO EXPENSIVE.
