The challenge is, of course, to accept the sacrifice of the pilot as heroic and meaningful, to commit to an act that does not merely avenge the cruelty of the killers but which brings that cruelty to an end.
In that way, the loyal pilot's lost life is made truly meaningful.

They threw out any semblance of the conventions of war, the response must be total annihilation.

We'd better not go into getting Cheneyed unless there is a plan to un-Cheney us afterwards.

have to be stopped. If you think it's funny, good for you. Go back to your TV shows while
adults deal with the actual world.

(36,063 posts)If we don't want to Cheney ourselves, again, then we've really got to avoid the influence of the bait held by one hand and resst being pushed by the otherhand.
Both hands serve the same master, and that master cares nothing for us.
A great nation, and a great cause can tolerate the stings of biting flies. An undisciplined nation will be driven into madness by the stings of biting flies.

(67,782 posts)....that all the negotiations over the last week were just a show. I guess now we see why there was never any "proof of life" presented. On top of that, it has also been reported that Jordan was ready to trade three prisoners for the pilot, and MSNBC just reported that there are calls for immediate execution of those three prisoners.
All that notwithstanding, these ISIS animals must be destroyed, and NO mercy should be shown. Certainly God will show them no mercy when they meet their end.
