#1 Finally! Years of civil war. Execution/expulsion of the sewer techs. And no white horsemen. I've started to think that Devil takes care of his own.

#2 We had an article a couple weeks back about a 'food poisoning' incident that was blamed on saboteurs. IMHO, the whole thing smelled and was more likely cholera (yeah, there's a poo joke there but I ain't touching it!)

Kuwait and Bahrain are nominally functionally areas. For this to go regional suggests serious breakdown of society and infrastructure. Stopping it will take more than UN bottled water and rehydration salts. Maybe dropping those barrels of chlorine on the opposition wasn't the genius idea it first appeared, eh?

#5 areligious ritual marking the end of an annual mourning period for the Prophet Mohammad's grandson

I thought that sort of thing was apostasy or false idols, something like that. Why hasn't IS tried to disrupt that ritual?
