There is something these groups all have in common... what is it I wonder?

If There Is Any Justification For Eradication It Should Be ISIS, The Taliban And Al Qaeda.
The organizations I mentioned are as bad or worse than the Kmer Rouge and serve no useful purpose on the planet. They should be exterminated like the plague they are on humanity. As a vet I believe there are good reasons for wholesale murder of these fighters. These people should not be allowed to exist at all.
There is no limit to the evil they would do given power. And they have already proved how despicable they are. The mayhem they have already done is just too horrible to imagine.
ADDENDEUM - Since the previous word is so loaded I substituted another.
We must remember the Khmer Rouge killed millions of Cambodians. These organizations would out out them easily.
What previous word did he mention?

1. There is no justification for genocide. The idea is obscene.
Nicely worded post. I don't know if he is agreeing with the OP or against.

2. We need to live up to our original values.
The reason these people proliferate is that we don't do what we say we're going to do. We don't live up to our values or follow through on our promises.
Western civilization has lost the ability to build anything positive since the neocons took charge.
Do you mean Judeo-Christian Values? I really don't think you do. Nicely blamed on the neo-cons, though.

3. lets compare body counts and evil acts, ok
The op makes a case that these groups should be eradicated because they there is no limit to the evil they would do given the power,
YET
I wonder if killing 2 million Vietnamese in their own country is not extreme evil, I wonder if indirectly killing 500,000 children in Iraq because of a decade of sanctions is not extreme evil (remember Albright said these children's deaths were worth it), I wonder if directly killing 100,000's of Iraqis just to get control of their oil in the 2003 invasion is not extreme evil?
We all agree those 3 groups the op has mentioned are bad, they could very well be evil incarnate, but lets be honest for a second, all these groups combined with their evil acts have killed just a small portion of people compared to how many America has killed over the years.
We need to fix our own backyard before we call others out for being evil, and the first step in fixing our own backyard is to arrest and try those officials still alive who have been responsible for 100,000s of deaths around the world.
oh, for ****'s face.
Yes, we get it. America Bad. Radical Muslim Terrorists Good.

4. The existence (and growth) of these groups is fueled by our policy of "eradication"
If it were that easy to just press a button and only the bad guys would all vaporize instantly into the Sun, sure I'd do it, but that isn't happening any time soon. This isn't an 80s video game where things like that happen.
Let's try it the other way for a moment- sinse we have been playing by the Barry handbook for the last 6 years. America Weaker, Not leading, Allowing shit to fester. Not making any hard decisions... that's what got us intot he current mess we are in. NOT the 'Bush' years.
