Thank you for the post Kwaigonegin. People need to see this to get off their complacent behinds. This is so sad and disturbing that I do not have the words to describe what I am feeling. This sort of behavior is complete and totally uncalled for. Dear God. This a just unbelievable. Children are innocents that look up to adults. Anyone that betrays that sacred trust is pure evil.
I believe that all of us here know who the bad guys are. These individuals deserve no quarter!

If there is one country that knows Northern Iraq it's Turkey they have done operations for decades
ISIS have indicated they will be taking the fight to inside Turkey and calling Erdogan all sorts, but there is no leader like Erdogan and he just won majority again and if he decides to go after ISIS and I mean go after them you will 6 Turkish armoured divisions rolling into Iraq
Turkish has a 1 million man standing army the best equipped and trained military in the world Turkish special forces have been deployed all over the world second to none if they decide to launch a airborne invasion we will see the results
And to be honest I have no idea what so ever where the freggin hell ISIS and this group came from I just switched on the TV and ISIS was all over the news I have never even heard of them until recently who they are what they are doing it's very strange
Christians and Yazidis in Iraq along with Jewish people have lived side by side for thousands of years I mean thousands of years Iraq was such a mix of peoples and religions as was Syria all gone in a heart beat 2003 invasion broke the bond of sectarian divide now we have so many factions it's ridiculous
It is claimed 1,000 Christian civilians have been killed by ISIS in the last few weeks alone

no problema mi amigo.. I am like you.. when the atrocities and scale of brutality goes beyond the scope of human understanding it needs to be called out on its evilness.
While terrible crimes are common during wartime, ISIS is pure evil because they are driven by pure hate and highly misguided beliefs and theologies. The only cure is extermination. You cannot negotiate, compromise or bargain when people have already gone down that deep.

i agree. i am a 90% pacifist, and oppose to most forms of violence. however when you have people who really only believes in death and hatred, they are truly dangerous. in fact, they are much more dangerous than al qaida is, if considering even the al qaida are distancing themselves away from them. if only they gather up into one location, someone should drop a nuke and wipe them all out.
their intent is not religious, political, or human..they are just evil

Doesnt matter who it is, I just hope everyone look past differences and get rid of this beast called the IS. It's a fangs-bearing monster that will become the true nightmare of humanity if not exterminated. A true international effort to destroy them should be warranted.

I don't think it was the atrocities or the Yazidi's on that mountain that prompted the Americans to act. It was their march towards Kurdistan and its capital Erbil that was the reason for the current intervention. The Kurds in Iraq are being seen as a long time friend of the US and a strategic asset in the region dating back to 1991. And they have a very effective lobbying machine in DC. There is a CIA base in Erbil and maybe some elements of the JSOC are stationed there as well.
I think the current strategy against the ISIS may backfire. What the Americans are doing is using airstrikes to contain ISIS in Iraq and not to destroy them as that would require a much larger effort than the current one. These pinprick airstrikes from the Americans are a propoganda tool falling from heaven for them as they can claim that they are now locked into battle with the mighty US and are still standing. This will help their recruitment efforts. Every ISIS member that is killed by US airstrikes can potentially generate 3 or 4 new recruits for them. Just like in Afghanistan with the Taliban. What doesn't destroy them makes them stronger. An additional problem is that the Americans and her allies are still supporting sedition in Syria that is helping ISIS to expand their influence and territory in that country. While the US is bombing ISIS in Iraq they are helping them to expand in Syria.
