Tell me, friend, how does a group of people enforce their rights within a country against those who wish to deny those rights? ISIS wants a global Islamic caliphate, along with a Caliph at its head and Sharia law. They want this in the US, Europe, and every other country on the planet. They do not negotiate, because they believe they carry out the will of an omnipotent deity. And most importantly, they will brutally slaughter anyone who stands in their way. So, how do we defend our rights to a different way of life, against those who would kill us for it? Oh, and a cursory glance at history would be educational. Pacifism is a great idea, until it isn't. |

Observed as an apparition conjured in a vacuum, ISIS really looks like such a beast, that no one could have created it or prevented it, right?
It seems like such an alien organization, that it must have always existed, but we know that's not true.
But let's suspend disbelief, cast aside rational thought, grab a gun and do something, because something like this requires direct action before it's too late!
Not really. It's just smoke an mirrors.
The country was deliberately destroyed for no reason. Iraq has been transformed into the mutilated free fire zone it is, because there was a good excuse for it, at the time, and there might never have been a better chance like that, to get away with destroying Iraq like there was at that moment.
So now panic about ISIS, right?
Panic about the bad guys.
Let people initiate opportunistic wars in 2003, so we can panic about the results in 2016?
Doesn't something about that seem a little odd?
