Nukes are the only sensible answer. They can send men in radiation suits to get the oil.

Has the advantage of separating the indigenous people from the oil. The oil is useful, the people...

Are you from the Spain forum by any chance? A ridiculous comment.

Generally Iraq, Syria, Libya, Egypt, and a few other dicey spots. In Iraq and Afghanistan when 10 or 12 people are killed by car bombs instead of 50 it's considered a slow day.

One of the IS most determined causes is the death of Shia Muslims....they state that it is even more important to kill the Shia than the Christians on their wish list....gives one hope now we don't need to be afraid of all muslims...just the Sunni ones what a mess....

Or even just the extremists. Nevertheless Islam is in dire need of reformation. Perhaps this mess will eventually lead to change within the Islamic community, it must be leading to some soul searching amongst the moderate Western Muslims who have lost children to the extremist elements.

No posts in 12 days on this thread.

Could that be because after bombing a John Deere and some Infidel Fish, the massed forces of Canada's finest have been sitting on their arses in Kuwait or Qatar copping a few rays at the taxpayers expense?

I don't know about Canada's finest, but I was certainly saddened to see all those men kneeling in blue jumpsuits at the feet of their IS executioners. One of the terrorists is believed to be a medical student from Cardiff, and apparently IS recruits continue to grow.

'Our side' should stop doing stupid things like imprisoning people in Guantanamo Bay and thus raising a whole new generation with hatred.

There are things we can do better, like Guantanamo, but the hatred is there. It's implicit in the book. As long as you have fundamentalist interpretations, the West will always be seen as a force of evil. Unless of course Islam can mature in the way Christianity has.

And that is a Canadian problem because....?

Bloody Harper is just strutting so that he can get away with poking Putin.

Pathetic really.

Have you read it? It's quite reasonable. But just as capable as "Jesus's Book" of being misinterpreted.
