No conflict is immutable. Elie Wiesel survived Auschwitz to see Germany lead a united Europe, after nearly destroying it twice in 40 years.

Empire State building & Eiffel tower changed lights to mourn with Istanbul. I hope they do so for Baghdad as well.https://twitter.com/susanmcp1/status/749664748170518528 …

Condemnation by "islamic leaders" is broad & routine. Along with protests & anger at leaders for failing to stop it. https://twitter.com/Jens_Krueger/status/749695688682930176 …

ISIS killed this Palestinian child. He was injured at the Istanbul airport, later died. His mother was also killed.pic.twitter.com/oegdg7kd5C
They were in Istanbul celebrating the mother's new degree in history from a university in Mecca. Typical ISIS victim: a family.

Region long wrecked by violence. We already forgot the Iraq war(s). Yemen war forgotten without ever being noticed.https://twitter.com/maassp/status/749230435088142336 …

ISIS is horrible and vicious. Any discussion of how they came to be that's not rooted in events in MENA in past 50 years is.. defective.
You can't discuss pre-2001 Taliban without understanding the Soviet war, occupation, US-Saudi counter jihad & the refugee camps in Pakistan.
ISIS is also not outside of history. Decades of war, brutal regimes, occupations, mass displacement produce.. horror. Khmer Rouge. DRC, etc.
But remember. Horrors end. Peace comes. Even quickly. It's only the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Somme, an insanity of mass violence.
