“Notice there has been no Russians beheaded.” you are correct, and I will add the Iranian's and Turkey have also been helping Iraq against ISIL. I wonder why not calling out of their leaders and be-headings of their citizens.... It is a shame we do not have a leader that the terrorist fear.

Notice there has been no Russians beheaded.

Back in the days when the Troglodytes were taking hostages they made a mistake of taking a Russian.

Story went that the Russians found the first one of the breed of the abductors, chopped off a finger or ear and mailed it to the abductors country with a mild hint that if THEIR man wasn’t returned, unharmed - in short order that the rest of their man would be showing up in pieces and for every day the Russian was held, another of the abducting country would be seized ....

I am sure I enhanced this a tad but the gist of the story is there.

Oh, whether that happened or not, the Russian was returned in a day or so and not a hair on any of their heads was harmed again..

I do think this was before they tried to occupy Afghanistan so the Russians were definitely feared when they said they were going to do something.

They had a habit of ‘drawing a line in the sand’ without drawing the line - let you figure out just how far you should go.

We had the armament and will to stand up to them THEN.
