Another "success" for them could well spell the end of Islam as they know it. And the world could rejoice.
I went through the Cuban Missile Crisis as a young lad on a Marine Corps airbase on the South. For me this has some of the same look and feel.

From your keyboard to God's eyes...
Is that you, Captain Morgan?
I just call it Degenerwood now ... why anyone would live in that sludge escapes me.
And who knew that you are such a METROSEXUAL? LOL
