    Is it wrong of me to laugh and point when these suicide bombing attempts go awry?

    Laughing at them is our best defence.

    If enough of these guys keep blowing themselves up, soon there won't be any more of them. To paraphrase Patton, nobody ever won a war by dying for his country. You made some other poor fool die for his..........

    In Egypte there are now many guards and armed forces at every antique site, except in place where looting is performed on a mash scale, no tourists there.
    Due to new leadership more attacks will follow but will probably have no effect.

    I just returned home, but on the bumber of the car in front of me was a sticker saying COEXIST. My rump! These folks don't want to coexist.

    I fail to see what I wrote to be either political or religious nor was it any kind of rant. However, I bow to you opinion.

    Might have been more acceptable to post those ancient cities and museums being attacked and looted. When I read the title, I thought that was what it could be.

    Oh good, I thought I was losing my mind. I didn't think you had started this. Seems like the entire thread should be deleted since it makes little sense now. The original article link was deleted.

    I don't mind making aware the plight that ancient places and artifacts in the middle east are facing now but seeing that these kind of topics have the potential to cause offense and negative feelings I'd rather these topics stay off the coin forum.
