One word Phil - No.
I would ask you this, seeing as Isis have millions, many many millions, well they are cash rich, you might want to consider where that money is coming from. A simple google search will give you some clues. They are seriously well funded. And I think you will find that it is our allies that fund ISIS.
I agree that their crimes are abhorrent, but an eye for an eye simply doesn't work. Nothing seems to, it only makes their resolve stronger. All that will happen is that IS will say they died for the cause and dub them martyrs.
ISIS are doing the running here, and they have plenty of funding. Totally agree risticuss.
Jordan needed to ask - what does ISIS want us to do - how do they wish us to react. I would suggest that Jordan reacted and acted exactly as ISIS wished them to.
Religious Nazis can be negotiated with........
I feel a Godwin's law moment may almost be upon us. But fazed I think that was attempted, failed and 5 million Jews were exterminated along with disable folks, Roma, gays and others, not to mention a word war.
Lew,
I don't think you will find many journalists with a better understanding of the Middle East than Robert Fisk. Patrick Cockburn (who also writes for the Indy) is another. To my surprise newsnight last night had Patrick on to discuss ISIS.
