re: Have you seen the latest ISIS video?

ISIS is the next generation Taliban. They are evil, no question, and the horrific level of violence has to be stopped. The destruction of history is almost as appalling to me, they are wiping out the history of their own people. I agree, they must go.

What I don't understand is the appeal. Someone commented earlier that kids are flocking to them like flies, and I agree. And not just kids, but mothers with their kids. I simply don't get it. What is the appeal here? What are people finding so attractive about this terrorist group?

And to those who say the easy answer is to glass the region - I don't see how that would in any way be a win for us. Talk about igniting a holy war - there are Muslims all over the world who would rise up in outrage. I don't think we could get away with another Hiroshima-Nagasaki operation today, and we shouldn't want to.

Waiting until we are asked for help by other countries in the region might be the best bet. But if they stage some atrocity here, which we know is coming, all bets are off.
