ISIS executes 19 girls for refusing to have sex with fighters as UN envoy ... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3186229/ISIS-executes-19-girls-refusing-sex-fighters-envoy-reveals-sex-slaves-peddled-like-barrels-petrol.html Americans are infinitely spoiled and ungrateful.  As the atrocities of WWII unfolded, major news media, military and governmental leaders refused to acknowledge the evidence because we didn't have the stomach for the truth. Not much has changed.  We still complain about many things that others around the world would call a luxury (such as traffic jams, waiting in a drive-thru, getting our new shoes or clothes soiled in a downpour, being served poorly at a nice restaurant). God, forgive us for our lack of care, concern and compassion and for our lack of prayer and gratitude.

How Western Is Germany? Russia Crisis Spurs Identity Conflict
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Many Germans feel a special bond to Russia. This makes the Ukraine
crisis particularly dangerous for Berlin because it raises important
questions about the very nature of German identity. Are we as deeply
rooted in the West as most believe?
