Been drinking the Obama koolaid much? New sheriff in town. Why isn't there a like button!! Want to control ISIS, bomb them, and every other radical Islam group out of existence. TM The problem with that, TM, is this: the smart ones (unlike ISIS, forced to hold ground once they declared themselves the new caliphate) don't tend to make very good bombing targets. Hard enough to take them out in small numbers with very precise guided weapons, like missiles fired from drones. They don't often gather in bunches where we can find and hit them. Bin Laden was not surrounded by other AQ types when we hit him. He was hiding, somewhat in plain sight, but not with a bunch of his gunmen.

Having ISIS around is kind of useful to our government. I mean they can tells us there is terrorist infiltration in certain country they can send troops in there to prop up the government there and at the same time keep Chinese interests out of that country and region. Next stop the African continent.
Going back to the original point I do not think fields sports are going anywhere in the United Kingdom. The anti-hunting groups are present in just about any country in EU. Flipping thorough pages of the Field, Sporting Gun, and Shooting Gazette seems to indicate there is plenty of shoots going around including exciting sport of wood pigeon shooting.

I’ll bite my tongue to stay on topic regarding the illusion of ISIS....I would offer up what happened to fox hunting in the U.K. Who would have believed that would have been taken from country people who participated in it for generations. It could easily happen to hunting. Do not think otherwise. Numerous states in the US have made hunting a right in their respective constitutions. Common folk need to be vigilant because some lib somewhere will look down their Ivy League nose and tut tut about the clingers hanging on to their old ways. Radicals care nothing for tradition, or the common law, if it does not serve their purposes. But I guess you knew that already.

That's mostly true, but bombing their factors in the middle of the night when no one is there certainly doesn't help either.

This has been one rare posting. I think one of you guys with enough money should pay to have this published in the London Times. It covered a lot of ground, some of which actually made sense.
From the viewpoint of a Yank, I'm only sure of two things. Everyone in Europe wants to be in charge of making money. As soon as there's a war everyone in Europe wants America and Great Britain to fight it. I have always found the word ‘Europe’ on the lips of those who wanted something from others which they dare not demand in their own names.
