Finns link works for me. Top is nothing but a splash screen, you scroll down to screens that let you click to select various videos.

If you're no go try a different browser?

The design sucks there should be a clue as to what to do at the top.

Very interesting videos, though.

And the trains still didn't run on time.

Whether it was Hitler or Mussolini isn't the point.

The point is, you're willing to excuse murder, mayhem, beheadings and rapes because somebody living in some shithole corner of Mosul can flush their toilet since ISIS took over. It's no different from the majority of Germans having been more than happy as pigs in shit to support the sociopaths taking over in Germany in 1933...and the rest of the world finding it convenient to look the other way.

And then you act all surprised and miffed when the children and grandchildren of the holocaust in Israel decide the last thing they're going to do is trust that anybody besides themselves are particularly interested in their survival.

It is not fair to claim he's willing to excuse anything. He was just pointing out what is happening, sharing some facts as to what is going on in the territory.

Thanks, DQ, but I'm just grateful that he said I was "excusing" beheadings and not "endorsing" them.

Then let him say it's inexcusable. You and I both know he won't. Since the only people who inexcusably support their murderous leaders are Israeli Jews.

I shouldn't really have to say this because I've already said many times that Daesh's actions are unforgivably barbaric. What I've been saying as well is that Daesh's barbarism mustn't be used as license for us to commit similar acts. That's my beef with you and with Mr. IQ.

So...a similar barbaric act would be...an airstrike? Because if this country decided that the only way to keep ISIS from beheading any more Americans, or anybody else, raping any more little girls, blowing any more innocent civilians to shreds, etc., was to wage a little war on these makers of war...I'm not getting how that's similarly unforgivably barbaric. How's about you 'splain this to me.

A well-designed strategy that gets the job done in the best way possible, taking care to minimize civilian death, and with some thought for emerging into a less-fucked-up future, is more than OK, it's what's wanted. Airstrikes are pretty sure to be a part of that.

Angry proposals along the lines of 'I want them all dead dead dead, and shut up about the civilians, you effete intellectual, if they get it they deserve it?' Those are different.
