That whole litany of killing and more killing can be traced to previous leaders' reluctance to consider

Stone's confrontation with myth should be embraced, yet I don't think this simplistic Left vs. Right
dichotomy, while making good drama, is helpful. Nor is limiting evil to capitalism, when the bloody
saga of state Communism has been condemned prima facie by 20th century history.

The Christian Iraqi children are the latest casualties of the fluid terror led by the Islamic State
militants also known as ISIS -- children whose final memories of home are heavily armed men
raiding their neighborhoods and schools.
