Good point. Anyone talking about "Indians" like they are some sort of monolithic group is delusional

Or just not a student of history. Some tribes were peaceful, some of them very bellicose.

They often fought among themselves, stealing each other's land so this whole notion that what later became America, was this idyllic, peaceful place before the big old evil Europeans got here is just nonsense and revisionist history.

ISIS destroys History to suit their narrative. It's an Islamofascist thing...

In exactly the same way the Arabs have tried to re-write history by claiming there is no historical Jewish claim to Jerusalem while destroying priceless Hebrew and Judaic artifacts dug up from underneath the Temple Mount, they are destroying the even more ancient temples in * Palmyra and elsewhere in their attempts to re-write history to suit their narrative.

Remember when the Taliban destroyed the magnificent Buddhas of Bamiyan? ISIS is now destroying any historical artifact or building that does not suit their stated purpose of a world ruled by Islamofascism under the Caliphate.

There are some in here who in their ignorance have claimed that the former leaders of Saddam Hussein's Baath party are running ISIS when in fact this is not just a red herring, but an outright fabrication. ISIS is based on a strict interpretation of Sunni Wahabiism, which is at odds with Shiite fundamentalism, BOTH of which consider the secular Baath party to be heretical and barely above the infidels in terms of societal hierarchy. Why the fuck do you think they were both "oppressed" in Iraq under Saddams secular ruling Baath Party?

The barbarians taking orders from Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and his ISIS-lamofascist ruling structure have even proclaimed they will correct the lies of **Petra WHEN they achieve domination over the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, which, ironically enough, IS a Sunni majority... but alas, they have a peace treaty with Israel, and so must be taught a lesson.

The Iranian situation will continue to deteriorate as the argument rages on whether or not Obama's capitulation to the Persian Hegemony eventually becomes moot.

But we sit idly by and twiddle our thumbs while the real history of the HUMAN race is destroyed. While the UN spends more than 75% of its time in efforts to de-legitimize Israel, they say and do nothing about the real crimes being committed against Humanity as ISIS continues spreading the cancer of their horrible barbaric philosophies across the Middle East, Europe and Africa.

Then why don't we declare war on Saudi Arabia and bomb...

...the shit out of them? The Saudis are the prime source of the spreading of Wahabism. They are allowing Wahabism to flourish and are even funding Wahabism studies. Forget Iraq, Iran and Afghanistan - the Republicans should stop holding hands with the Saudis and kissing the Saudis on the lips. The Saudis should bend over and kiss their asses goodbye when they see the bombs coming.

You've got my vote regarding the Saudis

as you know, I don't really give a fuck about ANY religion, which of course includes every religion both you and Doc just mentioned. I do care about the Saudis waging economic war against us, which they have done several times, and then of course there is that little thing called 9-11

Fine by me, bomb them the very short distance back the Stone Age. I won't lose a minute of sleep over it.

Now of course if the Saudis and the Iranians would like to simply bomb each other into oblivion, that would be even better. We could sell arms to the Saudis while the Russians sell arms to the Iranians, and everybody would be happy.
