FOREIGN POLICY'S TOP 5 READS
Monday, October 27

---------------------------------

#1 
THE CALIPHATE GENERATION: The Islamic State is raising an army of child soldiers and the West could be fighting them for generations to come. FP’s Kate Brannen reports: <a href='http://link.foreignpolicy.com/5253172ac16bcfa46f6bd4c71xq65.1sqo/VE62c8PoRXjpNLUzA0d1c target='_blank' style='font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:#ea1414;text-decoration:none;font-size:15px;line-height:21px;'>Read more</a>:

#2
TERROR IN THE SUBURBS: The Iraqi Army claims that Baghdad is secure. But in Abu Ghraib, just 40 minutes away, the Islamic State’s presence can be felt everywhere. FP contributor Susannah George reports from Baghdad: <a href='http://link.foreignpolicy.com/5253172ac16bcfa46f6bd4c71xq65.1sqo/VE7AocPokaJ5U6lAA2f28 target='_blank' style='font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:#ea1414;text-decoration:none;font-size:15px;line-height:21px;'>Read more</a>:

#3
BELTWAY BANDITS: Obama's small war against the Islamic State means big profits -- and little oversight -- for defense contractors and hired guns: <a href='http://link.foreignpolicy.com/5253172ac16bcfa46f6bd4c71xq65.1sqo/VE62c8PoRXjpNLU4A9272 target='_blank' style='font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:#ea1414;text-decoration:none;font-size:15px;line-height:21px;'>Read more</a>:

#4
THE FORGOTTEN: Yazidi refugees trapped on Mt. Sinjar captured the world's attention and helped spur U.S. intervention against the Islamic State. Now they sit outside the spotlight, wondering how they will survive the winter: <a href='http://link.foreignpolicy.com/5253172ac16bcfa46f6bd4c71xq65.1sqo/VE62c8PoRXjpNLU7Adfbb target='_blank' style='font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:#ea1414;text-decoration:none;font-size:15px;line-height:21px;'>Read more</a>:

#5
PARASITIC CAPITALISM: Seeing opportunity in the midst of a crisis is what capitalism is all about. Domain squatters took that to heart when they sold Ebola.com for $200,000: <a href='http://link.foreignpolicy.com/5253172ac16bcfa46f6bd4c71xq65.1sqo/VE62c8PoRXjpNLU_Abfc7 target='_blank' style='font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:#ea1414;text-decoration:none;font-size:15px;line-height:21px;'>Read more</a>:
