Just 5 months to the election... Let's hope that turns out as we desire...

I hear the Republicans want to pack in shoulder to shoulder at their convention. Maybe evolution is starting to work backwards...

It's not as if the carnage and massacres were one sided:

The Islamic militants involved in the Bonian wars included the same folks who perpetrated the 9-11 attacks.

I have absolutely no doubt that if the Serbs had not been able and willing to violently resist, Serbia would have been ethnically cleansed by Muslims.

It appears that much of Europe will be ethnically cleansed in the not to distant future.

First, if Pamella Gellar said the stuff listed in Joat's post, she would qualify as a liar because those things are untrue...

Now on to the other business... War is an affair where nobody's hands stay clean. Think ww2... Germany and Japan topped the competition for atrocities such as murder of Jews and Slavs, rape of Nanking, Bataan death March and much more. Yet on Allied side, there was the fire bombing of Dresden, Tokyo and other cities, the use of the A-bomb on Hirshima and Nagasaki. While we weren't in the same league as the Axis, our hands were dirty. Both Germany and Japan were pretty well flattened by the time it was over with huge losses of civilian life.

Now think the Balkans with the Serbs and Bosnians. Obviously the same thing was going on. Not with numbers like ww2, obviously enough. But bad enough. Looking down the wiki chart that TFLY posted, it appears that the Serbs were more prolific than the Bosnians and Croats. But they were right there committing atrocities too. It was war...no such thing as clean hands.

TFLY, you remember Beruit as a beautiful city... I member Sarajevo with that magnificent Olympic stadium where Torville and Dean ice danced their way to gold to the music of Ballero (sp). I also remember it from the 90s after it had been shelled out

War. Everybody gets dirty hands.

There was nothing beutiful about Beiruit back in 1984. I was being sarcastic. It was a far deadlier place than Sarejuvo during the Balkans civil war even before the bombing of the Marine barracks. Of cvourse Lebanon was rather peaceful and safe for Christians compared to almost all of the Middle East and much of Africa. Israel is about the last ME country that is safe for non muslims.


It appears that the Wet Market theory might be disproven:

I've been thinking about this... I'm wondering if what we are seeing in the Mideast is as much religious as it is a fundamentalist reaction to modern life. It has a strong religious vector, of course, because Christians have become identified as the outsider, even after living together with Muslims for hundreds of years.

But living with constant change can be hard on everybody. Eventually we all have to adjust. Eventually the Mideast will settle down, I think. Living with their current level of conflict has to be even more difficult than living with change...

Yeah, I'm tempted to say just let them do it, but then they would leave the arena and all head home and potentially spread infection nationwide...

Packed mobs, thousands of…protesters, not a mask to be seen, surely there will be a HUGE 'peak' of critical cases overwhelming our empty hospitals?

Only it won't happen. I'd be surprised if 10 of them need hospital treatment for coronavirus. Beatings and shootings do NOT count as coronavirus cases!

Will the idiots finally wake up, or just ignore another inconvenient truth?
