This article on ISIS is very long but amazingly helpful in understanding Da'esh.

I believe we are looking at ISIL the wrong way. Despite Bernie's analysis based on global warming and our aversion to saying anything candid about religion it is beyond me why we skirt around the fact that ISIL is bent on "religious" control of the world and therefore the "rational" conversations fall short. Just as we stand in shock to recent comments from a Christian pastor in Arkansas that overtly said gays should be killed (paraphrasing), we need to focus our thinking more around the use of religion in general to deal with ISIL and for that matter conservatives. Oil, that's the real game in the middle east, and ISIL knows it and is using, much like conservatives do, religion to bully others and arouse emotion in its followers. Its religion that is poisoning our politics here and in the world.

From The Thom Hartmann Reader:
"Thom Hartmann channels the best of the American Founders with voice and pen. His deep attachment to a democratic civil society is just the medicine America needs."
From Unequal Protection, 2nd Edition:
"Beneath the success and rise of American enterprise is an untold history that is antithetical to every value Americans hold dear. This is a seminal work, a godsend really, a clear message to every citizen about the need to reform our country, laws, and companies."
From Screwed:
"The powers that be are running roughshod over the powers that OUGHT to be. Hartmann tells us what went wrong — and what you and I can do to help set American right again."
I have to miss half an hour of the show every day. Has there been any analysis of the November 8th election in Myanmar in which Aung San Suu Kyi's party won a majority of both houses of the parliament?
