Oh but they do... there are few original leaders still alive.

for every leader killed, how many new ones pop up and take their place? You dont think the leaders train others to take over if something happens to them??? videos and writings the original leaders made live on, killing them made them simply made them martyrs.. how many new cells, new groups, new fighters emerge to continue and think up new plots? train new terrorists? You dont actually need a leader when you have manuals, vids, websites, etc that teach you how..
I agree, but I think its more than that. This is the seventh war Obama has waged on the Muslim world and he promises that this one is going to be as merciless as the rest. As Syria turns to dust, the frightened people of Syria will look for sanctuary and if its IS who offer them that sanctuary, it will do nothing other than grow in numbers.
John Pilger compares what happened in Cambodia with what is happening now in Syria.
According to Pol Pot, his movement had consisted of "fewer than 5,000 poorly armed guerrillas uncertain about their strategy, tactics, loyalty and leaders". Once Nixon's and Kissinger's B-52 bombers had gone to work as part of "Operation Menu", the west's ultimate demon could not believe his luck. The Americans dropped the equivalent of five Hiroshimas on rural Cambodia during 1969-73. They leveled village after village, returning to bomb the rubble and corpses. The craters left giant necklaces of carnage, still visible from the air. The terror was unimaginable. A former Khmer Rouge official described how the survivors "froze up and they would wander around mute for three or four days. Terrified and half-crazy, the people were ready to believe what they were told... That was what made it so easy for the Khmer Rouge to win the people over." A Finnish Government Commission of Inquiry estimated that 600,000 Cambodians died in the ensuing civil war and described the bombing as the "first stage in a decade of genocide". What Nixon and Kissinger began, Pol Pot, their beneficiary, completed. Under their bombs, the Khmer Rouge grew to a formidable army of 200,000 http://johnpilger.com/articles/from-pol-pot-to-isis-the-blood-never-dried
