I've been choked when hearing the news, so I shifted to CNN
My heart is with you in this very sad moment
The only thing that bother me is when the presentators spoke of ISIS; I did'nt know that any nation had recognized such a band as a state, it's the same in France, Belgium... they call them Islamic State, each time I found this insulting for the thousands who where killed, maimed, executed, raped, by this bunch of fanatics . Every time a presentator use this term he recognize implicitely a non existing State and gives it a value of a sort .
This is ignoring the weight of the words and his not acceptable from peoples who must know the importance of words, or perhaps they don't realy know and are ignorants ( if so send them back to the weather department ) . Simply call them Daesh group

I join in prayers for those suffering.
I'm allowing a thread like this as a way to show caring for those effected.
Remember, politics have no place on this forum, so 'placing blame' or 'finding solutions' to this tragedy are out of bounds. I join many of you in having STRONG opinions on what needs to be done, but I know that airing these opinions will only embroil us in a fight over current political realities. This is a toy soldier forum, not a political one. There are other venues for debating what should be done.
Thank you for understanding.
