I'm incredibly short-sighted. I don't like using the word terror or terrorism because I think they've become meaningless terms. But ISIS did commit horrendous acts of terror in Europe and the United States. And these people, a lot of them I'm sure, would happily do so given the opportunity.

And at the end of the caliphate, as a territorial realm, as a serious military presence, it just disappeared off the radar. I think this is a really... It really shows the sort of racist and colonial mindset behind this rules-based international order that the people who were their victims and who had left to pick up the pieces after it's got very little support or recognition.
