I don’t get too upset over gallows humor. I’m guilty of it from time to time.

No good guys in this story. It’s American hating muslims fighting against muslims that hate Americans. It’s merely a spectator sport, since either way, we lose.

I wonder if there’ll be aid ships and UN condemnation for this ‘genocide’. After all, we see it all the time when Israel does just 1/1000th of the same.
