Can Anyone Explain How Bad It Would Have To Be......

..before the "don't bomb ????"brigad would actually do something? Would IS have to behead a member of their own family on their own doorstep? I mean the civilised world, even the Arabs and the French, have determined that these nutters must be stopped. So what is rent a moron doing with their banners outside no 10?

"If those people and their idea were around in 1939, we all be speaking German by now."

I realise this might be a satisfying thing to say, Mikey, but if you care to actually engage with what other people say rather than just reinvent it to seem appropriately silly for your tastes, we might be able to have a conversation.

The "Coalition of the Willing" bombed Iraq for years and destroyed what semblance it had to modern attitude.

There are more problems with Islamists than before because of that environment. Young Iraqis know nothing but war and are a fertile ground for fundamentalist attitudes, thoroughly fertilised with hatred for the occupying forces who destroyed their country.

Too late now but Iraq and the rest of the world were better off with Saddam Hussein keeping a lid on extremism.

/// TTT...yet again "the stick your head in the sand and hope for the best brigade" are off. They have no strategy.....just pretend its not happening. If those people and their idea were around in 1939, we all be speaking German by now. ///

And what strategy do you happen to have mikey?

Some of us were around in 1939, and the British people would hopefully face it the same as they did then.

Didn't we (the British people) manage to keep the might of the German Army, Airforce, and Navy at bay, so I am sure we could manage to keep a few tribesmen from our shores.

Haven't you or any of your supporters of "Boots on the Ground" seen these savages calling out for us to send in our troops so that they can show an example of how they can make them turn away, just as they did in Iraq and Afghanistan.

/// They would at last have a chance to fight soldiers at close quarters, with all the propaganda impact that would have on people in the West. ///

/// But above all, it would turn a regional conflict that is predominantly pitting Muslim against Muslim into a global jihad against "Crusaders", which could see IS's recruitment soar exponentially. ///

The day 1,000,000 unwashed descended on the streets of London, London must have stunk that day.

Oh how we soon forget.
