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.

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

Screw that.

Hate is the emotion that makes killing seem right, and oh so desirable. Surely you've noticed that when people want someone dead, they want it very very much?

These people are a threat and warrant action, and not just an intervention.

You're statement seems reasonable, until we get to the 'and not just intervention' part. That's vague, but suggests support for something towards the 'nuke 'em all' end of the policy spectrum....

Beheadings are chatter...

Disproportional response is the problem.

I'd like to see odds of dying from retaliation of killing a US national at about 1:1. Good thing the Aussies caught these people or ISIS would be fighting an army of Dundees.

PS Jeez Rob, look what you done did

To read the thing is Zeke's post, above:

right-click on the image
Click on 'open link in new tab.'
Go to new tab and zoom.

It's worth the trouble. Makes a good point. The point is made by the item at the bottom.

Terribly misnamed if they wanted to commit suicide they could do it in the middle of an empty field. They really are murderous bombers, the side effect that they get killed is simply that, since what they set out to do is murder as many innocent people as possible. Time we started calling a spade a spade.

DQ there is no malice nor hate in what I suggest. Look it is quite simple, we had pest control in here yesterday to spray around the grounds to eliminate the stinkbugs the Asians kindly sent us. I don't hate stinkbugs but when there were so many of them around the front door before such that we did not dare use that door something had to be done.

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.
