VICTORY

At long last victory has come to our beloved soldiers fighting in Marawi.

The deaths of Omar Maute and Isnilon Hapilon are long overdue. And the President must be commended for bringing these murderous terrorists the only justice that truly awaits them.

But the fight against terror is far from finished. You cut the head, new ones will sprout in its stead. For as long as there is peace to exploit in the name of greed and self-interest, there will always be room for terror. As Martin Amis once said, 'Probably human cruelty is fixed and eternal. Only styles change.' So do not completely rejoice just yet and expect an end to bombings, kidnappings, mutilations and beheadings in the name of God and terror. We just have to be constantly on guard to protect the country should new threats inevitably arise.

How a group fighting in the guise of its faith can resort to such brutal tactics and unspeakable cruelty is beyond belief. Their total lack of humanity only proves that these extremists have no place in a civilized society, and the world must unite to ensure that these bastards are wiped out from the face of the earth.

Truly, how does one justify such evil savagery? For the longest time, we'd like to consider ourselves pacifists, as people opposed to violence of any kind, but extinguishing every last one of these sadistic fuckers seem like the only way left for us to ensure humanity's survival.

To do nothing is to condemn ourselves, the whole of humanity, to everlasting fire.
