Well yes, I agree that ISIS are a serious threat to the region. We will see how well they are organized and equipped to fight extended operations over the coming years. I have only a few brief moments to consider the longer term consequences of ISIS or Hamas or Fatah or Hezbollah or the Kurds or Libyan rebels or Egyptian forces for democracy or Ukrainians, etc. I am sometimes overwhelmed just helping my own family and paying bills. I am envious of some on this board who can devote so much personal time to these many important issues. I have watched on TV and read in newspapers about the suffering and the deaths of millions of people over the last thirty-plus years and I still don’t know where I should spend my finite compassion. People fight for their religious beliefs and sometimes they win, but there are still hundreds of millions of people without safe drinking water. Should I care for people’s souls before or after they have clean water? Two and half billion people do not have access to sanitation. Should I consider ISIS a bigger threat than unsafe water? How many will die because of ISIS compared to illnesses borne of poor sanitation all around the world? Will ISIS kill more than cancer? And then again, if we spent 10 trillion dollars to cure cancer and we save 10 million lives per year, how many deaths will we still allow due to unsafe drinking water? Which lives in world are worth more? Anyway, I don’t offer my opinion that often because it is just another speck in an ocean of nonsense. I do read this board because I someday expect to find useful information about another financial collapse and I hope to protect my assets (in time<g>).
