Lovely people, I'm sure...... Google Jordanian pilot burning, and you you will find the video. I saw it yesterday. It looks like its been semi professionally produced, with multiple camera(s), music overlay and voiceover. What it is, most of all, is horrifying. I have never seen anything so blatantly barbaric, sadistic and brutal. They poor devil dies in utter agony, thats for sure. The people who did this were trying to shock, and they have achieved. Look at the reaction in Jordan.
I cannot see how this ISIS-lot can go on alienating ever-greater parts of the globe with their behaviour, without drastic action in return. Other than a tactical, limited, battlefield nuclear strike (Turkey and Iran are too close) the only way of having a real go at this lot is troops on the ground. Politically sensitive to too many countries? Airstrikes alone won't do it, as proven before.
If a multi-nation attack was launched on the ground, what would happen? We would defeat them, but many would 'melt away' before being caught. Look at how long Suddam Hussein avoided capture.
No doubt many of our home grown ones would clandestinely return to the UK. Still, as long as their human rights and sensitivities havn't been breached, I'm sure thats alright then. If they have been, then Brussels will no doubt get involved.
What we certainly need to do, for starters, IMHO, is a return to the death sentence here for terrorists and traitors. You either are, or you are not British. If you are born here, you are British. If you then go and fight abroad for such a body, you are a traitor to your country. You cannot have it both ways. If the conscience of some people in this country is against the regime here, then go and live elsewhere. Then see how much you will get in human rights.
Troops on the ground? It won't be solved until we do that. It will just get worse.
