#2 Troglodytes doing what they do--tearing down civilizations and killing people. Obumble aiding and abetting the effort.

#3 that was a treasure of history for the entire world. it stood for thousands of years. i know it is callous but i care more about that than the people killed because there will always be more people but that is gone forever.

it was cultural heritage for all of us. i wanted to see it one day and now i never will.

#5 they sure were, grom

one human being I do feel really sad for is the 82-year-old chief archeologist, who refused to tell IS where the treasures were hidden, and they beheaded him.

He gave his life to protect a treasure of civilisation

What a wonderful man. How awful to kill an 82-year-old. That made me actually cry.
