Welcome to World War III!

Yo, numbnuts, is ISIS (and Islam) waging war or not? Why are we still fighting them? Point being, the war ain't over yet, you moron. No telling where it will go. And, since you are totally ignorant of the nature of warfare, you probably wouldn't understand how easily such violent instability can escalate. Those subhuman cockroaches are committed--TO THE DEATH.

WW 1 began with the assassination of ONE man. WW2 began with a staged border incident. And given the refusal of America's current "leadership" to even acknowledge the existence of an enemy, there is no doubt the enemy is growing more bold with each passing day. One thing is certain, Islam is not going to back off. There is a sure way to stop them and it ain't sticks and stones.

But, since you are such a f*cking genius, how about giving us your proposal to end the conflict with ISIS and Islam. However, you won't be able to do that until you pull your head out of your ass.
