In the wake of the carnage in Paris, speculation is rife over the possible creation of a sustained, effective and coordinated international effort against the Daesh terror group.
Coalitions Apart...
The French President, François Hollande, whose approval ratings only go up in the aftermath of terrorist attacks, telephoned his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, earlier this week to discuss possible joint plans against Daesh.
He even made arrangements to visit Washington and Moscow next week to pursue the "formation of a major military alliance".
The Western media loves it.
Paris is taking the lead, and the west may even claim some of the progress made against Daesh in recent weeks - excluding, of course, minor details like the fact that much of the fighting is being done by the Syrian Army and Hizbullah with Russian air cover.
Could it be that differences on combating terrorism are narrowing?
