Peter Kassig.

He was helping the people, delivering medical supplies and volunteering, only to be caught, held captive ,and then murdered, in cold blood.

Be at peace.

And it seems like he was forced to convert to islam, and yet they killed him anyways.

Funny, huh ? I mean, you'd think if they wanted to make up an excuse to kill a person, they'd convert them to Judaism, or Xianity. But Islam ? Isn't that the whole point of their bloody jihad ? Covert or die ? Hell, with them, it's convert AND die.

Where's that get fun ?

Damn, it's almost like they're intentionally trying to put a damper on the whole D.C. holiday party season.

You mean more workplace violence?
Should he have chosen a different career?

I get helping those in need, but at some point, you have to realize, they need to help themselves.

The basics of life guarding are Reach -Throw -Row -Go. First, if you can REACH someone from the safety of secure land or a solid foundation ( dock, boat, etc... ) , you do it.
Second, THROW them a rope or a extend a pole. If that's not enough, get in a boat or craft and ROW. If all else fails, GO into the water and get them yourself.

I think too often, folks get wrapped up emotionally and GO first, before trying other means of helping those in need.

Just my 2 cents.

Thousands of born Muslims are also being killed. It's politics by targeted assassinations. There is an article about who is killed and why at www.nytimes.com/2014/11/16/world/iraq-and-us-find-some-potential-sunni
-allies-have-already-been-lost.html


"In the Islamic State’s rapid consolidation of the Sunni parts of Iraq and Syria, the jihadists have used a double-pronged strategy to gain the obedience of Sunni tribes. While using their abundant cash and arms to entice tribal leaders to join their self-declared caliphate, the jihadists have also eliminated potential foes, hunting down soldiers, police officers, government officials and anyone who once cooperated with the United States as it battled Al Qaeda in Iraq.

Now, as the United States and the Iraqi government urgently seek to enlist the Sunni tribes to fight the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL, they are struggling to undo the militants’ success in co-opting or conquering the majority of them.

Officials admit little success in wooing new Sunni allies, beyond their fitful efforts to arm and supply the tribes who were already fighting the Islamic State — and mostly losing. So far, distrust of the Baghdad government’s intentions and its ability to protect the tribes has won out.

“There is an opportunity for the government to work with the tribes, but the facts on the ground are that ISIS has infiltrated these communities and depleted their ability to go against it,” said Ahmed Ali, an Iraq analyst at the Institute for the Study of War. “Time is not on the Iraqi government’s side.”"

Would have been a whole lot harder for ISIS to form up had the US stuck around a bit more.

Not if we continue the State Dept's comprehensive " buy them off and hope they like us" plan. Seems that nonsense has plagued our country for decades, regardless of which party is in power.

That part of the planet is a black hole - we'll never get out of there.


After millennia of warring, allowing a second democracy behind Israel such as Iraq to flourish would have helped spread that contagious democracy throughout the region. But Benito Obama managed to bury that Hope of Change.
