The scene is almost bucolic. A sunset, smiling children sitting on grass, families gathering together for a day out.
They come to Dijla City, a mall and amusement park just north of the city of Mosul, to spend a peaceful afternoon. As they enter the gates, a man with a small microphone meets them with a standard Muslim greeting before asking: “How do you find the spring here in the Islamic State?” The answer, from all, is the same: “Very good, thank God.”
Several men are interviewed in the video. (Women are barely glimpsed in the background.) They say everything is different now and so much better. There is chanting in the background, and happy faces everywhere. The meaning is clear: the mall, once enjoyed by Iraqis who came from across the country’s northern region to delight in the rides and candy, is now one of the perks enjoyed by citizens of the Islamic State.

Just wait and see where all the smiles are in two years. If the oil sheiks support these murderers, we should clamp an embargo on them that will drive them into the desert sand.
