Мосул - Славянск

... many of them Sunnis who seemed less fearful of the beheadings and summary justice that the group is known for than of their own government and the barrage it might unleash in an effort to take the city back.

That many Sunnis would prefer to take their chances under a militant group so violent it was thrown out of Al Qaeda sharply illustrates how difficult it will be for the Iraqi government to reassert control. Any aggressive effort by Baghdad to retake the city could reinforce the Iraqi Army’s reputation as an occupying force, rather than a guarantor of security.

Many of those who fled said they were terrified of possible airstrikes and indiscriminate shelling that they have seen, in news reports, against insurgents in Sunni-dominated Anbar Province, which has been out of government control for more than six months. (NYT)

Perhaps some day you'll find time to account for the transition from (1) to (2, 3, 4). Meanwhile I'm still willing to discuss occasionally but incidental and superficial matters.

The accounting is not difficult. When entering a public discussion you choose to trust your written words to represent you. Others have no choice but to speak with your representatives, whatever each one is.
