The Atlantic Piece You Need To Read
So this ISIS/ISIL thing is either the end of the world — if the nut jobs who’ve decided it’s they who’ve been called to fulfil the Koran’s End Times prophesy manage to get their way (which includes drawing us into a ground war of civilizations) — or a horrible blight on mankind that will play itself out if we understand what we’re up against. Which until I read the Atlantic Monthly cover story everyone’s reading, I did not, but now I think I do.
It’s not short; but it sure beats the Apocalypse.
Quote of the Day
This 'telephone' has too many shortcomings to be seriously considered as a means of communication. The device is inherently of no value to us.
