Bad Bromance 5,809 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 All of this is making me feel very uneasy. It seems like we are in the brink of a major war that will involve many countries and I am really scared imagining what will happen next. We all need to say our prayers every day because we don't know if we're going to return home when we leave in the morning and go about our busy lives. These are some scary times we are all living. I don't care what you think about unless it is about me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we would potentially like to allow for some gathering places to exist before terminating them so we can gather intelligence from them, so no they wouldn't be destroyed right away. That's one of my arguments for which France couldn't have been bombed targets that are as crucial to ISIS as they are presented. I don't know from where you got the idea that I was thinking that ISIS had one headquarter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Times are always scary. Don't allow their terrorism to cause terror in you. That is the point and the goal. The best thing that can come of this is a united coalition of nations that includes the middle eastern nations in squashing the extremism. If it is united, if it includes the middle east, then we can hope that the aggression will not spur more extremism out of new people. If a western nation goes alone, or only with western nations, then I fear it could cause more extremism in an us-against them. I hope the middle east will join us in fighting the war for the soul of islam and the middle east. Candy is dandy but liquor is quicker Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StarstruckIllusion 53,566 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 I don't like this. Why fight fire with fire? WHEN has that EVER worked? It's scaring me how people are calling this "the start of WWIII". NOT on my watch! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they are so Disorganized- so much so they can strategically organize a bombing in Paris during a music concert killing innocent people.

It's scaring me how people are calling this "the start of WWIII". NOT on my watch! A world war implies multiple large nations on two different sides of a war. ISIS is horrible, but its not even a nation. If anything, this could cause a NATO/UN coalition to take her out. That's hardly a "WWIII" so I wouldn't let people get you too bent up about that idea.

I will go about my daily life, like I usually do, but I can't help feel uneasy. I just need some time to go by until my soul can heal. I studied French for 6 years and fell in love with French culture. You have no idea how much this attack on French soil is hurting me right now. I will heal, though, and I know with each passing day, things will slowly go back to normal. Thanks for the pep talk, hun. I don't care what you think about unless it is about me.

We are not without love for mankind as they are. We are not without passions and dreams for that which is bright and warm and full of laughter. It's a beautiful thing to feel sorrow for those in pain, and solidarity is such a powerful thing to share. Peace and Godspeed.

MJHolland 12,725 Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 13 hours ago, Voltaire said: You're right to the extent that they are larger than a territory. But they ARE organized, more than any other terror organization thus far. They have cities. They have oil. They have an economy. They have police. ISIS has geographic locations. They are far and beyond them, no doubt, but they are different because they have taken land by force. They took banks full of gold and money. Raqqa is just one of the cities that they occupy. Their goal is to be legitimate and to have an even larger territory. You're absolutely right about letting them be for a long time. Likely, the thinking was that to attack them was to dust up more recruits for them, to legitimize them through military force. That didn't work so far. I agree, I didn't mean to say the are unorganized, more so they are operating on a somewhat covert level Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
