//I did hope that this poor man would be spared because he is an Arab and a Muslim.// I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve said that people in the western world continually and very naively make the mistake of assuming that Islamists possess a mindset similar to their own. They don’t. The pilot would never have been spared on the grounds that he was an...
Ladybirder, sadly, they can be more cruel. For a start off you could cut someone's hands off and then burn them alive. Sorry, sorry, it makes me feel sick, too, but there really is no limit to their evil, which they think is just and good.

Horribly, I am sure that Chilldoubt has the right of it, in essence. It is, as I have repeatedly said, going to come to a showdown. It is the timing that counts.
Yes there is no doubt that dropping nuclear bombs is almost certainly the correct response. That will be that sorted out then. On to the next easy solution to another of the world's problems :-)
