| #12 It is interesting how the Islamists hate anything that came before Mohammad. Taliban were doing that sort of thing back in the day as well. |

| #11 A bunch of 'pre-hostage' Blue Helmets at historical sites. The Oyster Bay group probably tore themselves away from the buffet line long enough to figure that to be a 'Bad Idea®' |

| #10 is this different than digging up a conferderate general? or destroying a confederate monument? from the ISIS perspective they see it as 'cleaning up'. If the UN does not like it then they should step up to eliminate ISIS or protect the monuments. |

| #4 It probably means zip. If they hadn't noticed, prisoners have been burned in cages, drowned, women and children raped and killed, people crucified and many people beheaded. The U.N. is a bit late in their concern for antiquities. |
