Remember when it appeared that, contra a certain U.S. president and his "JV team" talk, ISIS was going to overrun the entire Middle East with virtually no resistance? Remember the harrowing stories of Iraqis gathering on a mountaintop waiting for someone to come and rescue them before ISIS showed up and set them on fire or committed some other murderous atrocity?
We all saw that horrific videos of ISIS beheading, burning and drowning people. These evil sadistic monsters clearly observed no lines of decency and respected only sheer, brute force. Anyone who did not qualify as sufficiently Islamic in their eyes deserved not just death, but the painful, brutal, horrible death. And ISIS would see to it that no one in the region was spared.
