I sure wouldn't want to be a Pres. now-a-days.  Not a good profession as a goal for the little ones to try to achieve.  Way too complicated because of all that's going on in the world.

These guys are so proud they made a HOW TO show.

What a disgusting comment.  Glad you think it's funny to destroy something like this.  And to execute a respected, elderly scholar because he refused to tell them where other antiquities were hidden?  You must find that hilarious!

You have a very strange sense of humor.  You must be very immature to have made such a comment.

Besides blowing up the temple of Palmyra they decapited an 82 year old archeologist from there and hanged him after that. 

What can I say? They are superb  group of people. I wish I had power to turn them into a parking lot.

There's an interesting blurb for NBC Nightly News.  Lester Holt asks the question, had the US not invaded Iraq, would there be ISIS?

The former Iraqi dictator kept the opposing religious sects under his thumb.

I heard this sound bite earlier.  Lester Holt is not giving his (or NBC's) opinion.  He is simply asking a question.

NBC IS JUST ONE GUYS OPINION.  All the various terrorist groups were comfortable in Iraq with the former dictator.  Would have happened sooner or later.

There was no opinion given.  It was a thought provoking question.

Tonight Richard Engel did a piece on what happens to the young ISIS recruits that defy them.  It was heartbreaking.

There is not a doubt in my mind that Lila Belle was NOT lol'ing at the destruction or the execution.

Each time I hear how they are destroying history I get a pit in my stomach. That poor man they beheaded who was the head of antiquities...horrible!
