I suspect you are suggesting that what's happening in Iraq is fabrication and that whoever were responsible for Isis gaining a foothold shouldn't worry because it's all been photoshopped?

moisok • August 11, 2014 11:08 AM BST You and your anti israeli friends are part of the problem. Attitudes like yours from guardianista land shows weakness and only encourages terrorist islamists.
I am inclined to disagree I think it us killing Muslims which encourages terrorism
Also why has parliament not been recalled to see what and if we can do anything We are giving humanitarian aid......but we could offer more protection to the Yazidi Christians ad Kurds yet we are reluctant
This is the same Cameron who wanted us to attack Assad in Syria
His policy seem to be attack and kill Muslims but we can't intervene to protect anyone what sort of policy is that? On a humanitarian level I cannot agree with this policy

The whole trouble with all of this..is that out government are never truthful with us their real motives are hidden from us...which we all have to guess(unless you are soft enough to believe them)
Now the cold war with Russia has been officially restarted(god knows why??) We may have calculated we actually need Isis believe it or not
I wish we would just keep things simple, and stick to the moral high ground but our politicians will never do it

i don't advocate any 'political' system because they're all - without exception - immoral and self centred, and as for western democracy, there is no democracy. Not as far as u s foreign policy is concerned. They have proved themselves over and over to be totally corrupt and have been ever since they dropped an atom bomb on innocent people. However...as I keep mentioning, the real worry comes from those who really decide world affairs,because they want a decrease in world population.

What about Hitler? he planned a bit of a skirmish, but hated Freemasons and grouped them with Jews and Bolsheviks. I doubt if any of the Japanese top brass in the 1940s were masons. Francisco Franco was another murdering military fascist who hated masons. Albert Pike? So what? Millions of men have been masons, including geniuses who gave so much to the world, such as Robert Burns and Wolfgang Mozart, Darwin and Newton. Don't let common sense stop you though, carry on and make an arse of yourself if you wish.

You know what should happen? so called moderate muslims should be marching in London against this being done in their name.

AH I have asked that question and the apologists never give a coherent response .
I believe that the British public has been conditioned by the left wing media that criticism of Islam is racist .
So called moderate Muslims like members of all cults are told that criticism of their cult is unacceptable and will lead to retribution.

Meanwhile in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia told Israel on Tuesday that it must reach a peace agreement with the Palestinians if it is to survive as a nation, and criticised Muslims for being divided and failing to stop Israel attacking its Arab neighbour
"Israel has to realize that peace is the only solution forits survival," Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Saud al-Faisal told a meeting of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC), the
world's largest Muslim body, on the situation in the Gaza Strip
"As we see, Israel does not shy away from taking its terror to any level, with total disregard to any laws, rules, religious edicts or humanitarian considerations to achieve its goals
"Its only objective is to uproot the Palestinian existence wherever it is," Prince Saud told the meeting in Jeddah, attended by Palestinian Prime Minister Rami Hamdallah and ministers from the 56-member OIC. [Reuters]

Good news ..we are sending three tornado aircraft for humanitarian efforts and we may even consider a "small numer" of Chinook helicopters.
You contrast this with what we sent to Iraq for invasion, Afghanistan, and even to attack Libya rather more than this I feel.
That tells me where our priorities lie.
We so much prefer killing Muslims to helping them

If it were only Isis, I may agree case, but unfortunately since I know we would kill lots of ordinary Sunni Muslims I cant
But I think we can seal the Christians and Kurds off from them..be it with air and/or ground forces, that I approve
Also of course because Christian countries have attacked Muslim countries, and killed a fair number of Muslims, Christians in these country will become a target, also happening in Pakistan. As always i war a lot of innocents suffer and die. Why I do not approve of it...except in DEFENCE...we never attack another country.
It is disappointing to me to see our own society adopting this approach.
Although I do believe we have a right to prevent genocide, but little else.

this attacking other countries approach, that is what disappoints me
Also the US writing in its foreign policy as it did in the early 90's bring down Iraq.....I regard that as an undeclared declaration of war...and I doubt that Iraq is the only name on the list
This is arrogance, and possible megalomania.

The reason being he was a mass murderer. Political executions took place in Spain as late as 1969, 30 years after the end of the civil war. I happen to have a close affinity with Spain, so is that OK?

Isn't the meaning of his post obvious alias? It happens all the time on the politics forum. People sobbing because a bad baastard like Pinochet murdered a few thousand and totally oblivious to the suffering of tens of millions under people like Stalin and Mao. Dozens upon dozens of breast beating posts about Israel/Palestine and yet you have to drag any opinion from them about some of the many other conflicts which go on around the world.
It's a bit daft in my view to see the world in terms of left and right wings but if you do then you will leave yourself open to accusations of hypocrisy if you only criticise right wing murdering baastards. The left have killed plenty more.

The destruction of the bison/buffalo had a great affect on the indigenous Indian population this was was their main food source
The sad reality was their land was just tempting for us whites "We cannot leave it to these savages" we thought...The whites broke every treaty we had with the Indians. Finally Tecumseh Sherman (of marching through Georgia infamy) was tasked with bringing all Indian tribes of the mid west onto reservations
He actually expressed some sympathy for the Indian cause, but as he far as he was concerned it had to be done. A highly gifted commander, but he never shirked from being ruthless when necessary
The Apaches were the last to come in, they had little choice.

Sheridan did most of the ground work in the Indian wars....Sherman just oversaw it all
We needed the land for our cattle, this was big business, so basically the bison/buffalo had to go
The Apaches being more to S.West held out longer, because the more rocky suited terrain them. But in the end it was their undoing, because of the bright Sun. The Cavalry started using mirrors as the Indians did themselves to communicate over distance, enabling them to coordinate their attacks better.
They had to finally come into their reservations.

The myth of the peaceful noble savage is just that, a myth. The native Americans were massacuring and at war with each other long before the first europeans.The number of skeletons found from these times with axe marks or arrowhead suggest that they wer ee far more violent even than europeans at the time. Tribes fought against tribes and the pholosopher Thomas Hobbes seems closer to the truth when he called it an era of all against all.
