#3 What use is it investigating and litigating against something like ISIS ? I don't even see the rationale in making arrests or incarcerating them. It's like a whole other species of beings, committed to inhumanity and what can only be described as demonic in any culture.

Principles of right and wrong, courts, the hague, human authority, the social contract mean jack shit to them. I believe the world's demise, if it were not destined at the hands of God, would have come at the hands of such.

Because of the 'educated' man's inability to appreciate the value of letting some parts of himself remain wild. And then it would have been worse.

#5 Of course. Somethings they do just right. It's a question of priorities.

On our unit badge in the military it said 'Balidaan' (sacrifice). The idea behind it was not the 'die for your country' silliness. It meant that for your country to be safe you were sacrificing your humanity and were prepared to out-villain the bad guys.
