#1 A reminder that ISIS is doing nothing new, just an awful lot more of it.

The talking heads on TV make fine distinctions between AQ, ISIS and others. Not worth bothering with such distinctions. Savagery and barbarism resides in all of these groups. AQ pulled of 911; it doesn't get much worse than that. However, it could if we don't control our borders.

#2 Savagery and barbarism resides in all of these groups.

...because savagery and barbarism are the foundation principles of their shared creed/religion.

Disagree. Savagery/sadism and endless appetite for other people property is part of their basic nature. Muhammadanism allowed them to cooperate with each other in---making, really extensive, acts of robbery and murder possible.

Yes, it was (is?) quite effective at uniting and disciplining disparate tribes.

Which is why the Left seems so fascinated with it, and would be more so, if it weren't for the religion and a few other icky parts.

#5 It seems a change at the top is having some results. Just last month Prince Khalid bin Bandar was named to the post of chief of general intelligence. In little more than a year's time he has held the posts of deputy defense minister, and previous to that governor of Riyadh region. He is the son of Prince Bandar, who it was reported was forced out. He is said to be much more purposeful and much less the schmoozer than the old man. It is said that he wanted to make an example of the terrorists, and he may be having his way.

#6 The only way terrorism is actually going to be defeated will be when society's multiple buttholes become terrified at the thought of becoming a terrorist. It has to lead to either painful death or to a deep dark dungeon attended by an albino.

Whichever path they take, it has to be accompanied by a roundup and punishment of their immediate friends and acquaintances. The father who sez "he wuz framed" should get his own place in the dungeon and the mother who sez "he wuz a good boy" should join him.

Vespasian would have handled the bastards like he did Massada. Naturally the UN would want to try him for war crimes.

#7 One thinks of General Sherman's 300,000, and the crucified Jews stretching the length of the road from Jerusalem to Rome, if I recall correctly, and the claim of one billion Moslems in the world... and prays there is another way to achieve the same end.
