the recent videotaped beheading of an American journalist...I'm sure you heard about that obscenity, right?

I understand your question regarding the 500 returning to Europe after
fighting with ISIS and yes, they probably WILL be detained and questioned...Hopefully they will lose their citizenship and "right" to return
if it's confirmed that they went on murder sprees with these monsters, but since I haven't actually HEARD it said or confirmed, I'm still kind of worried. The President, Chuck Hagel and others have described them as a VERY well-funded and sophisticated group. As you know, they are SO
brutal they were actually tossed out by Al Queda.

Thanks for your advice, I'll be thinking it over...and, oh, by the way,
why don't you take a ferry to the Dalmatian coast?...Lots of Italians
come there because it's beautiful and a lot less expensive than Italy!
