Jihadi John sleeps with the fishes..

This was a rather pleasant news cycle to wake up to this Friday the 13th.

Good riddance

Re: Jihadi John sleeps with the fishes..

Ya, I agree it is primitive and ignorant to take any sort of glee in the death of a fellow human being.
I am not as evolved in my humanity as many others. I am glad Osama bin Laden is dead and I am glad Jihadi John is dead. And if by chance they can track down and kill every member of ISIL I won't lose any sleep either. Call me a ignorant barbarian, I know I am.
And before anyone want to point out that they have a right to exist I would say so do others. And if a group wants to kill, destroy and wipe from the face of the Earth everyone who does not embrace their theology then guess who is gonna get some drone ordinance up their ass?

eye for an eye mentality

Hi Percy,

Percy writes:

Sure we're angry about the innocent lives lost here at their hands, but what about the innocent lives lost there at our hands?

This is a unfortunate and very sad aspect of war.
I am reminded of a Gandhi quote,
"An eye for a eye only ends up making the whole world blind."

It is a shame the U.S. ever invaded Iraq. The U. S. lost all credibility when we did that imo. The blood spilled there is on our hands. We left the region destabilized and now another group wishes to destroy that culture and institute their own. What is the world to do? Now that there is a army bent on the destruction of anyone who does not bend to Sharia law. How will this end? Can the world concede to ISIL? Do we leave the countries we destabilized to the wolves? I am afraid the only answer is going to be bloodshed and alot more of it.

And just what in the hell did "I am the Walrus" mean ?
