WHEN in the name of humanity will the carnage being inflicted on the innocent end? Is there is answer? Do we as a global community throw our troops into an unwinnable ground offensive against the rabid ideologues that is IS? Or totally withdraw from these middle eastern countries where we have attempted for years to impose our version of democracy when factions within these cultures seem unable or unwilling to accept the way we in the Western world live out our lives. My heart goes out to everyone who have suffered in these atrocities. No answers from me, only sadness.
