Draggingtree Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Legal Insurrection: Can we “understand” evil?Posted by neo-neocon Monday, August 11, 2014 at 3:37pm ISIS is the embodiment of evil. But: “We don’t understand real evil, organized evil very well,” said America’s former ambassador to Iraq and Afghanistan, Ryan Crocker, in an interview with The New York Times. “This is evil incarnate.” “People like [islamic State commander] Abu Bakar al-Baghdadi have been in a fight for a decade,” he added. “They are messianic in their vision, and they are not going to stop.” My question is: does anyone ever “understand” evil? I don’t think so. Evil’s very nature is to be inscrutable. Evil is altogether mysterious and altogether different from the way most people operate or could even imagine operating.

Valin Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Regarding ISIS, Elizabeth Warren pipes up: “It’s a complicated situation right now in Iraq and the president has taken very targeted actions to provide humanitarian relief that the Iraqi government requested, and to protect American citizens,” Warren told reporters. “But like the president I believe that any solution in Iraq is going to be a negotiated solution, not a military solution. We do not want to be pulled into another war in Iraq.”…“The point is there has to be a negotiated solution in Iraq, but we don’t negotiate with terrorists,” Warren said. She said, “This is partially a question of whether the U.S. government negotiates or whether we have the Iraqi government doing these negotiations, and how we help support them as they try to maintain an integrated country, and a country that better represents all of the people who live there.” @Draggingtree Can you please explain to me what she said. Small words please....I'm not that bright. I read it several times and it makes no sense to me....and I'm getting a headache. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have to negotiate, but we don't negotiate, so...we should negotiate? My head hurts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
