Loyalty and efficiency?

Normally, in my experience in the western world you have to first have individuality and rugged individuality at that to actually get to efficiency of any kind at all.

However, in many parts of the world, individuality doesn't exist, at least as we know it in the western world. Instead we have sacrifice for family, religion and country instead which is respected by those cultures instead of what we call individuality.

However, in the present Caliph we seem to have both loyalty and efficiency as well as sacrifice for a cause. However, the main problem with this is brutality at a level 100s of times worse than Osama Bin Laden reminding us more of the brutality of Medieval times more than any other single thing.

However, the brutality of the new Caliph isn't what Sunnis are seeing. What they are seeing is: Results!

So, this is the danger now for the rest of the world: An efficient Caliph having set up a "nation?" with a following (at least on the Internet) and being efficient at what he does best (executing Shias) and drawing Sunnis to his banner.

So, if he draws enough Sunnis to his banner this could get worse and worse for the world and just as in the Brookings Institution article it becomes more likely that "hundreds of thousands of Shias and Sunnis throughout the region will die.

If you look at World War II, soldiers were not the majority who died, the majority in these kinds of situations is civilians who either starve to death are molested until they die or are killed outright.

So, depending upon how brutal this Caliph? is now will depend upon how the rest of the world views him. If he is viewed as a war criminal (which legally he already is) or if he is viewed as a leader of a country (which on one level this cannot be denied) or if he is simply viewed as someone Iranian Shias and Iraqi Shias are going to assassinate (a likely thought among Shias throughout the region).

So, if Sunnis en masse flock to him now the world is going to have a heck of a time getting rid of him.

Osama bin Laden was a leader in secret but this Caliph? is in public for all to see whether they are GPS coordinates or simply spies tracking him down to potentially assassinate him.

Because of all this if the U.S. doesn't want to create more terrorists and 9-11 in the U.S. we need to be careful of creating more Osama Bin Ladens right now. Being wise while all these changes come down it is better that the Caliph and all the Sunnis throughout the world blame Iran and Russia and Syria and Maliki for this (what is happening now) than us here in the U.S.

This is a very strange turn of events. But, then again in this world I have found that "Truth is always much stranger than fiction".

Here is the article I was referring to above:
