Who is the real terrorist?

 The quest for peace will not end if we fight war with war. The Islamic State has been grossly transparent with their persecution of various private individuals recording the event in video and publishing the same in social media. It has caused chaos in the minds of the people around the world on what is really happening and who shall be accountable for it.

The UN charter and international laws prohibit the initiation of military force in the territory of another state. Just like any other rules, there are prohibitions. The United Nations Security Council may approve the application of force in other state provided. The application of force may also be valid upon consent of the state where the force shall be applied and with consideration also to self-defense. As one world and United Nations, the international organization also recognizes certain humanitarian intervention provided that there is a necessity to do so.

The United States leads the operations to fight against the IS and to validate there intrusion to other states, the requisites for a valid initiation of military operation in another state should be met. Although no consent has been given by either state, the silence that the affected states are giving implies that they approve with the US intervention.

The violence inflicted by the IS concentrates in the Middle East nations. Since only a part of the world is affected, so far the fifth requirement has not been substantially met. The validity of the United States’ intrusion lies upon the affected states in the Middle East. What can be prohibited if no one asked to prohibit such?
