Boko Haram Slaughters 100 Christians at Five Nigerian Churches During Sunday Service Posted by Jim Hoft on Sunday, June 29, 2014, 1:00 PM Boko Haram Islamists slaughtered 100 Christians at five Nigerian churches during Sunday Service this morning. The Daily Post reported, via Religion of Peace: Five churches, including COCIN, EYN and Deeper Life Bible Church, in Kwada village about 10 kilometres from Chibok town, were on Sunday attacked by Boko Haram insurgents. The attackers, according to report from locals in Chibok, targeted the time when worshipers were ready for the Sunday Service. “They killed and burnt houses after attacking worshipers in five churches in Kwada; after that, they advanced to Kautikari, less than 8 kilometres to Chibok town, whey they equally killed people and destroyed properties. “I’m not sure security agencies have gone to rescue the villagers, but I learnt that the insurgents are still in pursuit of the remaining villagers”, Mallam Yahi told DailyPost. It was gathered that residents of Chibok town have also fled their homes, following the news of the attacks in Kwada and Kautikari. DailyPost recalls that few weeks ago, there was panic in Chibok Local Government Area of Borno State, following a letter purportedly written to them by the sect members. Earlier this week, Boko Haram was blamed for a bombing at a shopping complex in the Nigerian capital Abuja. ( Reuters)

Yeah, I know. In general, bombing civilians is a very non-productive and indefensible activity. Japan was a difficult situation. Considering the brutal manner in which their military operated, when Nazis were sickened by their brutality you know they were pretty extreme, there wasn't a lot of sympathy for them. Then when we got wind that Japan was negotiating surrendering to the Soviets, that put a great deal of urgency on their unconditional surrender to the US. The idea that if you are brutal enough your opponents will just give up is a very common attitude. It also almost never works. What usually happens is that your opponents fight even harder and don't pay as much attention to the niceties.
