Gaeme Wood over at the Atlantic has a riveting piece on &quot;What ISIS really wants&quot;. Best long form investigative journalism I&#x27;ve read in nearly a decade.  <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theatlantic.com&#x2F;magazine&#x2F;archive&#x2F;2015&#x2F;03&#x2F;what-isis-really-wants&#x2F;384980&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.theatlantic.com&#x2F;magazine&#x2F;archive&#x2F;2015&#x2F;03&#x2F;what-isi...</a><p>(Warning: It&#x27;s really long, but answers a whole lot of questions that a whole lot of westerners, outsiders have about that group, the region, their funding, recruiting, idealogy and why they still haven&#x27;t been defeated. Well worth a read.)
