I know you just copied the headline of the article, but that headline is doing some serious heavy lifting in terms of saying the US has no control over its actions.

"Oh no, we bumbled our way into a war again! Couldn't be helped, not our faults. Whatever are we to do?"

Much like the theft of historical artifacts by the UK et al, ISIS was the result of decades of imperialist meddling by the US. Maybe just leave things be and let the locals work out what they want to do with their land, their people, and the artifacts on it. Offering assistance without strings attached is good, interventions are bad.

It's like offering to help your neighbor with their yard: it's acceptable to offer to lend them your mower, but it's not acceptable to dig up everything on their property, replace it with grass sod, and spray it regularly with herbicides because you didn't like the look of their local fauna and are afraid the dandelions and clover would spread to your lawn after your first intervention.

Or a little squirt gun with bleach

They look like you could easily disable them by turning them upside down. Cathartic as it must be to destroy, I figure you could still disable them with less legal risk to yourself.

5 self-referencing papers deeper, "oh, you actually did take the time to write the methods...10 years ago."

In my experience, there's always a way around parental controls on these devices and if there isn't, there's always a way that your child will subvert them in other ways.

Half the time it's a well-intentioned and ignorant adult providing them the means.

They're all in the lab working ridiculously long hours.

I once watched this nature documentary named "Princess Mononoke" and can confirm that wild pigs continue to live on even after physical death.

Gotta have them treats too.

You collect it all in a giant pile that goes in your giant pocket like a big, manly dragon. This way your manly coin horde jingles as you walk, making the small pocketed people attracted to/jealous of you.
