Support NeoGAF

[charsace]

As was proven in horrific war crimes way back in WWII, strategic bombing accomplishes nothing except make the victims fight harder. The US is breeding more supporters for IS with every bomb dropped. I'm glad this guy called this out.

If the US or a lot of other European countries wanted to end ISIS with bombs they have the ability to do so.

Well, i'm not leaving my house ever again.

Why are there people like this in this world?? WHY CAN'T WE JUST LIVE PEACEFULLY DAMMIT???

just glad he made it back. I don't think I learned anything from that which we couldn't have guessed. Yes, they're determined and "believe they will win". Yes, they want to kill lots of people. Yes, bombs won't kill ideals.

Not sure if it was worth risking his life and leaving his family fatherless to "uncover".

I don't think anybody would have guessed that they allow practice of other religions. It definitely helps to explain how they can recruit so well from the west.

But no, he doesn't write just for "us". What "we" can guess is irrelevant.

They can do a lot of damage in the region, they already seem to be. Born out of extremity they practice extremism. But they are small fries on the world stage. I don't like how the media upscales this stuff as if it is 'global' threat, and I don't appreciate fear among Westerners of these guys. Many Iraqis are feeling the ill effects of this whole atrocious conflict, and I feel compassion for their plight. In a local geopolitical context, Isis could play a fairly big role. As a 'unifying' evil in the region, I think are pretty much Al Qaeda 2.0. Not a threat to Western civilisation or dominance, but they could be used as a further justification for incursion in certain regions.

It seems Isis has some momentum at the moment. I don't doubt they are cocky. They haven't secured their territory yet though, not by a long shot. As I said before, i think this is an example of extreme circumstances giving birth and momentum to perversion. It is crazy how fucked up the fallout of our invasion has been. These guys are probably even worse than Saddam...

I wish we can somehow get Nort Korea and these jihadists against each other. Solve everyone's problems.
