ISIS Opens The World's Biggest Bazaar of Violence

 http://billwarnermyblog.files.wordpress.com/2014/06/94587-isis.jpg

ISIS isn't a state and it's not your typically insurgency.

It's much more interesting than that.

ISIS is a marketplace -- a freewheeling bazaar of violence -- and it is rapidly expanding. 

So far, it's been very successful:
  • it operates freely in an area bigger than most countries (and it has lots of oil),
  • it's been attracting the participation of a growing number of organizations and individuals, and
  • it's financially successful and self-funding (it's already made billions of $$ from oil, crime, bank robberies, and more).
This success is due to the fact that ISIS isn't trying to build a "state."  It's not a government.
