Here is a little snippet for you all to mull over whilst you uphold the onslaught of aggression yet cannot fathom the 'Courage' of those that oppose it.
When the snows cover the drives of your comfortable homes, the usual activity of those that dwell there is to take up (or purchase) a large shovel-like device and clear a path through it.
A similar 'Device' (except that the leading edge is strengthened with stainless steel) is used to scrape up the remains of victims of 'Bombing raids' and any remaining blood and gore, pressure washed lest the 'Feral Cats' and other 'Carrion Creatures' descend upon that which is left.
It is difficult to distinguish twixt one atrocity and another in such circumstances BUT, in ALL cases, there is never a mention of nor sight of (neither in the newspapers nor television ) such close up scrutiny, since such visual reminders of what 'Horror' looks like, MIGHT stir up public opinion and lead to the obvious conclusion that such 'Horrors' should not be part of the society's in which we live.
As horrific are the actions of 'ISIS' (or ANY retaliatory force) which rises up against that which THEY see as aggression, they are still greatly inferior to those which are imposed upon THEM.
I do not condone the actions of 'ISIS' BUT. I cannot see that they have any alternative but to resist (as strenuously and as inhumanly) and adopt the same (if not greater) actions which result in that which WE may perceive as atrocities as are imposed upon them.
The 'Western Powers' should be ashamed to call themselves 'Civilized' whilst boldly pursuing the campaigns of violence which proves they are not AND, how 'Horrendous' that those who are at the brunt of their campaigns should have the 'Courage' to fight back.
If it didn't make you laugh, it would make you cry............ Good Luck to anyone who stands up to 'Bullies' .
