In looking at photos online, and I could be entirely wrong, the murderous swine dressed in black are considerably taller then the poor victims, westerners???

Problem is, airstrikes alone aren't going to get the job done. It's going to take ground warfare to eliminate them as a threat, and I'm skeptical that any of the countries in that region are going to do that. But I hope I'm wrong.

Are Jordan and Egypt friendly?
Could they work together with their intelligence?

The planet needs to unite and destroy this ISIS beast in its cave where it lives, breaths and reproduces its demonic evil. No one nation can or should do it alone.

My only question is...what is the world waiting for? Will people care when we stop referring to the victims are "Christians"? If so, do it. People prefer to argue that the Christians deserve it because (fill-in-the-blank)? Or that the Jews deserve this and that because (fill-in-the-blank). What the hell is wrong with people who blame the victims while this beast hunts for more?

I wonder what would be happening in that part of the world had the US not setup Saddam Hussein by giving him the go-ahead to invade Kuwait and then propping him up as the big bad wolf that had to be knocked down. And ignoring the fact that the terrorists associated with 911 were Saudi Arabian. But Saddam Hussein gets blamed again and then we make sure he's executed. But the good thing is some huge American corporation made billions of dollars through the whole mess. What's a few heads compared to billions of dollars? Makes me angry every time I think of it. But someone is fat, happy and secure while the rest of us just sit here and watch this mess continue to unfold and worry about when it will impact our country again.

Dennis Prager is an American nationally syndicated, politically conservative radio talk show host, columnist, author, and public speaker. He is known for his political and social views, and his views on the origins of moral values. Wikipedia
I'm usually about as liberal as they get, but in this case I'm dumbfounded by the hatred against the Israelis (who are only slightly evil as nations go), and the excuse-making by liberals for a religion that goads many of its followers into doing great harm worldwide by beheadings, stonings, burning people alive, abducting and raping teenage girls en masse, and attacking Jews worldwide since before they got their own state.

If you don't believe that most of them hate Jews, that it's not just Muhammed et al. who used to behead them in the earliest days, simply go down to your local convenience store, pick up a newspaper, and say to the Muslim clerk: "Jeeez, those Jews. Can you believe what they've done now?" and point to some atrocity that definitely wasn't done by Jews. You'll get an earful.

Oh, I already know enough about it, more than I want to, but thanks.

There have always been a lot of stealth nukings of threads and posts on a variety of topics, there are a lot of mods and they all have "da power". They have as many different opinions as the regular members do, they're not always sober, or else they think they are doing God or humanity a favor by deleting a strong argument by their opponents.

Your post eloquently sums up why American justice will NEVER be satisfied until Dubya and Chenya are chained to a wood pole and executed by firing squad for war atrocities and crimes against the U.S. Constitution.
