    This is a horrible thing. Ambassadors are generally fire-free for a reason. There's no way to talk if the messengers get gunned down while they're talking.

    Look at the bottom of the victim's shoes. He's a career diplomat with 30+ years in the business and the bottom of his shoes look like he's walked a thousand miles in them.

    Or maybe he's just Russian.

    Either way, this was horrific. But the bigger fear today should be that this sparks Russian hellfire, and we'll look at this as something like a (junior) Archduke Ferdinand event. Catastrophic for a scattered global order searching for clarifying polarization.

    I'm much more worried about the World War III that we already have than the potential additions to the mayhem.

    Yeah, not an unfair comment. Except, characterizing this as "mayhem," as if we're just waiting until this current batch of fratboys gets tired of tp-ing the dean's azaleas might just be a bit fluffy.

    The leader of ISIS is Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi. Nobody knows much about him or his personal motives. All you can go by is how ISIS behaves in general.
    Start a war by bombing/invading the Middle East. Going after ISIS but pissing off Iran/Pakistan enough to send the whole region into flames.
    I mean a real war.

    We're about to be buddy buddies with Russia now. Your proposed Middle East Super War under Trump makes no sense. Iran would never fight Russia and if Iran/Pakistan & ISIS combined to fight the U.S. , Russia, NATO allies, etc. it would be over in like an afternoon. I don't see how a Trump presidency results in WWIII apocalypse in the Middle East. It will probably more of the same mess were experiencing now. Drone strikes from us and lone wolf attacks from them.

    -

    Now you wanna talk about Asia?? that's a different story. That's very real. He could get us dragged into something messy there, particularly with his fascination with pissing off China and an emerging region that is increasingly becoming pro China and anti-US. revoking the TPP only fuels that

    You're being too logical about the Middle East. Whether a war makes sense is less relevant than having hotheads on both sides.

    Hmmmm. Ambassador murdered in broad daylight. Guy plows through a market and kills a dozens innocent Germans.

    (pause)

    Y'know, I'm totally taking your side on this. Pandemonium, tumult, commotion, confusion. WAAAY better.

    The alternative is doing nothing and watch Berlin or Paris in flames.
    I'd rather it was middle east.

    LOLOL for the so called religion of peace there sure are a lot of mother fuckers “misinterpreting” this so-called peaceful book huh? Yet another Islamic Warrior goes out like a coward taking a bunch of innocent people with him. Islam’s a shitstian on society. Enough of the its the 1% doing it, let’s just call it like it is. Maybe I'm crazy, but something is wrong with that fucking book, okay.

    Now if only they rioted about this shit like they do about cartoons we'd be good.

    There's always the old reliable Blame Bush™, but they've been doing this shit for 1400 years in case no one's noticed.

    Are you mentally capable of separating the Islamic terrorists from the other Muslims?

    It's cool that those of pure blood are able to set us straight.

    And I'm glad the AKC was able to help you with your lineage.
