I am appalled that any group would think they have a right to destroy any other groups historical monuments. But then I remember the Taliban destroying the Buddhas of Bamiyan (BEFORE 9/11) and I am reminded that there are groups that have no civilization at all. With these radical Islamists,there is no choice but to destroy them if we can. But we would need a leader and there are few/none on the horizon.

Yes, now that Arabic Islamic nut jobs organized under a tyrannical state mass murderer, supported by other mass murderers like Russia, Iran and Hezbollah have ousted more extreme Muslim nut jobs out of their enclaves, we should all breath a collective sigh of relief that UNESCO can rebuild those temples.
What about the 250,000 people slaughtered during the Syrian civil war? Who cares.
What's crucial to world peace is if the Israelis built a house in the West Bank. Now THAT is a crucial world event!

Looks like we backed the wrong horse in Syria. The wrong horse that survived is now evicting ISIS. Obama’s (and McCain’s) “moderate” rebels have yet to kill one member of ISIS or evict them from territory.

Even the Khmer Rouge didn’t destroy the Angkor Wat temples in Cambodia during their ‘75-’79 reign of terror.
Islam is the embodiment of evil.

This Guardian article is a perfect example of the West’s response to aggressive, savage Islamic extremism. Now that the threat has been pushed back — no thanks to the West — the West is thankful and hopeful that not all the irreplaceable historical sites were destroyed. And lamenting that some were destroyed. Its all so passive. So weak.

Bonus: the war has created a lot more new “ruins”.
