Yeah, Unseen, you may be correct. I think intelligence guaging popular support has to inform the decision (were there a will) Even if invasion is a bad idea we could offer succor to dissidents. We could promise retribution against those who torture and execute. If i recall in the uprising in Iran in 1979 the U S opposed democracy. Nevertheless my point stands. As always in realpolitik it is not concern for individuals or peoples it is the perception of each countrie’s best interest. Those African genocides are a perfect example of how callous and uncaring nations are. We could have militarily intervened and rapidly ended the slaughters. We don’t care. And as i’ve pointed out already there was no push back against Obama when he said we would go in if there were popular support and participation from our allies.

Why is it so easy to get people to do shitty things to each other? And many need NO encouragement at all. Just chop someone with a machete. No sense of morality, no guilt. WTF? We actually elected Trump as our president. To this day I can barely wrap my head around that. A six-year-old shot his teacher this week… at the school. Damn. Is it the weather? I feel like just avoiding all news sometimes and just say fuck’all. I’d be happier, just write-off the species as shite. But it’s difficult to do that. There’s economic/business news, weather, local news and stuff I just need to know.

Reg and Fellow Unbelievers,

Academic Freedom vs. Rights of Muslim students.

There is no conflict here. Muslim students, like every other U.S. Citizen, have every right to know and explore the tenets and history of Islam as portrayed in literature and visual arts. And like all U.S. Citizens, Muslims are not compelled by law to attend college and anyone who is offended with curriculua has a right to take their tuition funds elsewhere.

Robert,

The act portrayed and the adults who do such acts are offensive, but the image portraying a historical fact about Muhammad and the artist who made the image are not offensive.

The outrage should be with child abuse, not picture scribblers.

Unseen,

Come on, Bob. Back then you had to get in their pants before anyone else just to avoid getting gonorrhea or syphilis.

To the best of our knowledge, Syphilis wasn’t known in the Eastern Hemisphere until Christopher Columbus and Crew brought it from the Western Hemisphere and Gonorrhea can exist neonatally. Hence, Muhammad could not cite that excuse for his sickening acts.
