In my opinion is it much worse. It encourages an ADHD attitude. A book requires imagination. The idea of spending a few days getting to the bottom of a math problem is lost on kids because they expect to push a button and find the answer, or push many until they stumble into it. Bill Gates and his ilk are a plague on education, he should just STFU and go back to spending his billions on health care for the poor.

The apologists will simply claim those atrocities were mere reaction against the West. It will get worse because they have to up the ante to keep the same level of hatred driving their nutjobs. How do you satisfy their bloodlust after you have raised it way beyond humane? And videos like this serve to attract the sort of nutjob who has no problems being such murderers and mass murderers. It is a Genghis Khan mentality which says that if their army is crueler than anyone else. Boko Haram is a prime example.

Daesh has pretty much expanded to their geographical limits, they are surrounded by countries and groups that are armed and just as pissy as they are. They are mainly supported by some local Sunni tribes, that is where most of their recruits are coming from. Sooner or later I expect the foreigners and the locals will have it out. It will be bloody, but no one will shed any tears over it. I doubt it will really go away because there will be no General Sherman that will run through their neighborhood and demolish their infrastructure or support.

What makes you think the Muslim nutjobs need any provocation from the West to attack the West? They need the West so they don't appear so radical as to declare war against Muslims. Now they get to hide behind "Defending Islam against the West, anything else is understandable collateral and Muslims should feel honored to be martyred." They are self-agitated regardless of what the West does or doesn't do.

Okay, how about we send you to talk some sense into Daesh, I'm sure they'd listen to you. Putin has also been calling for your input a lot, explain to him why he shouldn't have half of Ukraine. Lil' Kimmy's a nice guy, could you please go over there and talk him out of his nukes. While you are on your world tour, please explain to the Iranians that achieving hegemony over its neighbors is a losing strategy and nukes won't help them.

Maybe in your bunny world, the U.S. caused all these problems. Hey, are you Joe Biden?
