Gaziantep, Turkey — The Islamic State (click here) claimed its first attack inside the Syrian capital on Tuesday, asserting responsibility for a car bomb that destroyed a police officers’ club and left several people dead and dozens wounded.
The bombing, witnesses and regional news reports said, struck Masaken Barzeh, a neighborhood on the northern edge of the city that had been largely secure and quiet. Within hours the Islamic State, using its official media channels, said it had orchestrated the blast. The Islamic State had said it was behind an assault last month on the Sayeda Zeinab shrine on the outskirts of the capital that left dozens dead....
Ever hear of the Green Zone? It is still there. The Iraqi government in Baghdad built six concrete blast walls to prevent this exact kind of attack.
This is Baghdad. It is the Green Zone. There are layers of blast walls to end the violence inside the government's center. There are guard gates that monitor traffic into and out of the Green Zone.
Residents, especially those involved in the government, live in the Green Zone. It is the same stuff that occurred in Baghdad that brought up the walls. Some of the blast walls, when in neighborhoods of people, are painted with murals to reflect happy messages.
Daesh are the Ba'athists. Their vicious attack on 'the human being' has to be handled by governments with infestation of them. There is no bug spray strong enough, so the people have to be protected in order to carry out the country's business. As soon as Syria can claim sovereignty and control, the war takes on a different composition and one with a leader to end it.
The UN peace process needs to be pledged by the sovereign government. The peace process will help bring about a new method to end differences without guns. The Syrian people have been dragged through hell by Daesh. They have to have a reason to come home.
Oh, by the way, the USA FBI is having trouble breaking a code on a cell phone. Perhaps a joint effort to end such terrorism might be plausible. Maybe? It would be good for all the countries in coalitions and within UN agreements to end Daesh.
Think about it. We could all use a little peace right now.
