Ever wonder what is going on over there? It seems they like to document everything.

Don't think about looking if you can't handle the truth.

It is rough, but not any more rough than Europe during WWII, the fact is we haven't advanced very much since then. Civilization is a very thin veneer.

My bigger question is why no one is doing anything about it.

Sometimes we have to hang back and let people settle their little differences on their own terms.

This makes it far easier to step in after the dust has settled.

not very easy to sit back and watch the end of that video though....

Not sure on the background of it (any of it to be honest), but still. Sucks to watch unarmed civilians (or captured soldiers) get executed and thrown in the water like garbage.

I don't even know what to say. But to those that say we should stay out of this and let them settle their own battle, remember; we were supporting ISIS (indirectly) up until last year when they were fighting Asad's regime. So in a way, we are responsible to clean the mess we created.

A civil war in Iraq was destined to happy when we left. it was never an "if." There were too many atrocities that happened under Sadam's watch.

I get the notion of staying out of religious civil wars but these guys are on a march.

The question everyone should be asking is why the hell we did'nt recognize the threat that this group posed.
