News below the fold apparently because it might put some people in a bad light. Personally, I think these people should be put in a bad light, but that’s just me.
THE VIDEO HAS BEEN TAKEN DOWN: Perhaps the real sign of our times is that after only two days, the destruction by the Islamic State of the ancient city of Nimrud has been removed. The city is still in ruins, but you can no longer watch the destruction. So there are modern and western equivalents of this same destruction of the past. Orwellian is the word, and will be so long as we are able to read Orwell and understand him. 1984 is unfortunately becoming a manual and is no longer a warning.
Anyway, perhaps this one will remain available.
