[Alberta's Child]

Christians, Yazidis, and the Shabak sect of Shia Islam all call the area home, forming a unique cultural mosaic, a centuries-old tapestry of religious diversity.

What the author conspicuously doesn't mention is what exactly brought that "centuries-old tapestry" to an end.

I'll tell you what, Congressman Fortenberry:

Introduce a bill to apprehend every member of the Bush administration and both Houses of Congress who authorized that disastrous invasion of Iraq in 2003, strip them of all their assets, and give that money to these ISIS victims over there in Iraq.

Then imprison every one of those @ssholes -- one year in prison for each U.S. soldier and innocent Iraqi civilian whose lives were lost in that disaster. That should keep Gitmo open for another 50+ years.

Come back to me with a sob story about that sh!t-hole after you do that. Maybe I'll have an ounce of energy to devote to the cause at that point.

Well, Dubya’s painting pictures, so he’s done his part to make amends.
