Of all the many reasons it's best for us not to invade another country in the ME, being horrified by det cord executions and such is like... 46th on the list.
Americans have been taking on dire opponents for a long time now, fighting those who commit atrocities and/or employ suicide tactics is hardly new for us (Imperial Japanese forces and Nazis come to mind). They were horrifying and we still beat them. There's a John Stuart Mill quote that works well here I think.
I didn't take his point to be that they were too horrible for us to fight, just that as horrible as they are, this is a part of the world where their activities don't stand out as particularly heinous by comparison. With that, I agree.
I really, really wish that Obama and Clinton had just ignored Syria, but pretty much every President (and apparently would-be President) believes that he or she will get it right this time. The underlying principles - valuing democracy, freedom and self-determination - are sound, even if the rest of us all understood that it's doomed to failure. And at least they did it on the cheap - no thousands of American lives lost. It's worse on the Syrian people - arguably much worse - but in the end the results won't be all that different. Maybe they'll hate us less, but if not, at least we still have thousands more selfless young Americans alive.
That was English. And it was decently good English at that. Its not my fault if you cant comprehend it.
It means that a Sunni Turk may kill a Russian Ambassador because of Sunni Syrian civilians being slaughtered in Aleppo, specifically because they were Sunni. It doesnt matter if he was Turkish and the slaughtered civilians were Syrian.
I don't often agree with you, but I thought it was a perfectly valid point and well put.
