Iraq and Syria

I empathize with your displeasure but folks like this have existed since the beginning of time. What you have now is mass media.

We are no more or less safe than we were before 9/11, no more or less safe than we were before Pearl Harbor.

See the OP

Somebody just wants you to believe that we are for THEIR benefit.

Screw that.

No because nukes would render the area uninhabitable for the Kurds and others not involved in IS.

PS Jeez Rob, look what you done did

Tough tittie

Suicide bombers are brainwashed to believe that they are killing non-adherents of their religion and thus conducting a jihad which is their ticket to heaven. This then is a form of religious cleansing. Now if we can keep them cleansing themselves.

Well now IS is threatening to export their bloody tactics is it not the intelligent thing to hit them first? They would think nothing of killing my Florence in the supermarket parking lot. I would much prefer that such a thing not happen.

Threaten me however done and you will live to regret it, threaten those I love and you will not live to regret it.

Gads, you assure me you don't hate, and try to show it by a comparison to exterminating bugs? Listen to yourself!

Happily, the odds are millions to one against Florence being killed by terrorists anywhere. Yes, any harm to Florence would be awful, but don't let the awfulness overshadow the fact that the odds against it are millions to one. The real danger in a parking lot is someone won't look, and back over her. You should indeed fear that! (At least, a lot more than you fear ISIS.)

Who says "Gads" anymore? What we need are some gadfly traps around here.

Post #2, post #3 - do we actually need lurid pictures like these in this forum?

Based on post #1, I thought we did, yes. But it's seems that the only sensitivity is from someone like you. Folks in the middle of having an 'ISIS reaction' are immune.

Pretend I said 'Jesus Fucking Christ' if that would seem more acceptable to you.
