    Who cares what they want? Let's go in there and kill em all. They hate us for our freedoms. Radical Islam must be eradicated. Send in the Marines. I bet Obama is somewhere taking a nap letting all these terrorists win. He'll probably eat dinner later too. Where is the leadership? Trump would go in there and kick some ass. He'll make America great again and take our country back!

    We should bomb all of Nigeria. A little collateral damage didn't do no harm ever!

    These terrorist groups really make it difficult to combat terror in an effective way.

    When I see these kinds of stories about attacks and think of all the innocent lives being destroyed, my gut instinct is to want to blow these guys off of the planet. That's my instinctual reaction. I hate these terrorists.

    Of course, knowing how terrorists work, and how attacks work, I know that isn't the best strategy, but it isn't easy to go after the funding, and all of the other steps which are long term.

    I'm not against military strikes where effective and cutting out collateral damage. I rejoice just like the next guy when we strike down the terrorists.

    Eh true but not true. Was an issue with the Biafra war and then not much for a few decades until the rise of BH.

    I haven't cared to pay attention to this, but you guys are slipping...besides the religious extremists, what else does Nigeria have in common with the Gulf States?

    and lot's of it. I used to do business with Mobil Producing Nigeria as well as Seplat (a nigerian company) a lot in the past. Talk about some super corrupt business practices going on over there..

    Tons of natural resources in Nigeria including oil. I'm curious how powerful Nigeria could truly be if it ever was able to unify as one nation.
