No, the irony is that we're destroying our own freedoms for the sake of fighting people whose goal is to destroy freedom...
So we should do nothing?
We are already losing our freedom every day with these clowns..
I don't think it's "for the sake of".
I think that any group of people who try to take others' freedom for simply living their life differently to them - and will kill them because of it - has to be stopped at all costs.
I was out in my garden on the weekend; sunny day, two days off work, working hard to improve my property, having a beer, looking at the view, kids playing around me, having a ball....
And it suddenly flashed into my head; a picture of the recent beheadings - don't ask me why; it was silly, really - I thought to myself; "Now, why are these imbeciles living over in some god-forsaken, barren desert wasteland, hiding in caves and tunnels and who knows where else, cutting off folks' heads - all in the name of they don't want anyone to live a different life to them...they could be here enjoying life like I am right now".
We have to stop those folks before all forms of freedom are taken by them, and they won't stop until they get it.
I'd rather die fighting than spend my life the way they see life should be lived.
