How is this bad news? Someone took out a car bomb. Car bombs have a habit of killing a lot of non combatants in that part of the world. Looks like the Brits are doing someone some good there.
There will never be peace again. Conflict is such a waste.
Is this just a rant/tantrum, or do you have a point? The multipolar world we live in is by its nature more uncertain and dangerous than the more or less bi-polar world you and I grew up in.
Funnily enough, even during that "stable" era there were plenty of wars all over this planet. I guess you just weren't paying attention.
Crying about the multi polar world being dangerous won't change anything.
Europe had three hundred years of serious growing pains to get us to the current era. Thirty years war through the end of WW II. It looks like the Middle East is having the opportunity to go through similar growing pains. Look on the bright side: they may be better off at the far end, just as Europe was/is.
