let them go for it

[Torplexed]

I can't say I'm shedding a tear for these creeps either. It just proves the old maxim that the longer two enemies fight each other, the more they come to resemble each other.

What does scare me is the toxic social cesspool these guys are creating. A whole generation is being raised in a poisonous atmosphere where atrocity is the daily norm and heritage destruction is done gleefully. Nobody cared when Arab tribes blood-feuded over honor or water wells in some desert wasteland. But then came oil and nationalism and Arabs living by the millions in nation states and as those states start to dissolve you end up with hundreds of thousands of people on the hoof for some place where there is still a shred of normalcy. I don't think Europe can take them all in without starting to pop at the seams. And it's not just Syria and northern Iraq. Yemen is melting down, as is Libya. You also have to worry what happens if Iran or Saudi Arabia or Israel try to put a cork in it and come to blows.

I sure don't want to get involved militarily. It always degenerates into whack-a-mole on a grand scale when we do. But I don't think they're going to all conveniently kill themselves all off without some unintended consequences or blow-back.
