    Childish stuff. Ignores the fact that people living under despots have consistently asked for intervention.

      who asked for intervention?? really who – the syrian rebels bought off by the Saudi/ Qatari alliance?
      most syrians , at least the moderate cohort were content enough with assad.

      people are being stoked up into a frenzy about syria and IS when it all boils down to a natural gas pipeline to deliver gas to europe.
      All of it stems from this conflict over whether it is Qatari or iranian gas we use at home.

          Actually, yes. And getting bombed as well.

          It’s a really interesting read actually but you won’t hear anyone talking about the findings, just implantation of ineffective campaigns to prevent radicalisation that create more division between communities than is needed.

            Muslims are not happy
            They’re not happy in Gaza
            They’re not happy in Egypt
            They’re not happy in Libya
            They’re not happy in Morocco
            They’re not happy in Iran
            They’re not happy in Iraq
            They’re not happy in Yemen
            They’re not happy in Afghanistan
            They’re not happy in Pakistan
            They’re not happy in Syria
            They’re not happy in Lebanon
            So, where are they happy?
            They’re happy in Australia
            They’re happy in England
            They’re happy in France
            They’re happy in Italy
            They’re happy in Germany
            They’re happy in Sweden
            They’re happy in the USA & Canada
            They’re happy in Norway & India
            They’re happy in almost every country that is not Islamic!
            And who do they blame?
            Not Islam…
            Not their leadership…
            Not themselves…
            THEY BLAME THE COUNTRIES THEY ARE HAPPY IN!!

    Radio “War war is stupid, people are stupid ….. ”

    *looks at copilot of bomber* “Let’s go home”

    This is simplistic and naive beyond belief.
    It’s akin to “Daddy, why are bad people bombing other people”

        In general, the simpler it is to explain the closer it is to being true.

        I give it 10/10.

          Everything happens to satisfy base human emotions but because we all have huge egos, we like to over complicate everything. This post is spot on.

          1. MoyestWithExcitement

            No it doesn’t. There’s a Vice documentary on Youtube (at least there used to be) shot inside IS. One particularly interesting ‘sequence’ is when they’re converting captured enemy combatants. The underlying message behind the argument they present to the captured soldiers is ‘You should fight with us because your leaders are actually friends of the west and are killing Muslims’.
