#3 And when they win and are sovereign of all they survey who will be the first to recognize them diplomatically and set up an Embassy? Who will be first to buy their Oil and sell them what they need?

Do you think they will be trusted to make alliances and sign trade agreements? Will anyone be willing to make Cultural exchanges with them? What will the Embassy parties serve for entertainment and what will you be holding in your hand for refreshments while you talk about building economic and cultural links between your two countries.

And if you have a "border" with the ISIS administration...who will be smiling back at you on a bright clear day?

What will ISIS build and offer the International community? And as such...what would you predict their supply of the world's resources they can expect?

Geopolitically what does Iraq NEED? If they are going to get much they are going to have to offer something in return. What can ISIS offer the world?

Think about it. THAT is their future. Count it.
