First and foremost Torch my thoughts go out to you and your niece. From what I have heard/read Ebola is not really that contagious and requires direct contact to spread.
Marcel it is a wonderful thing that there are good people like you in this world and I really thank God that such as you exist but I can't be that forgiving. The ISIS cretin that is doing the beheading should be flayed alive an inch at a time then given Ebola. I watched the actual video, beheading is such a sanitized term. He literally sawed the man's head off with a small knife it took a good minute.

No worries, most people in America think Australia is off the coast of Africa.
True!

Torch, thoughts and prayers go with your niece and all of the others helping out over there with this disease.
Thanks for the compliment, but my reasons go deeper than forgiving. First of all if you let a disease loose on people, you're not targeting one person. It'll be the whole population. So you might be angry with the creep that did that, but use a blunt knife on him back instead of using a disease. If you let this disease loose in IS country, mostly innocent women and children will die. Further more, you would give ISIS a weapon. Imagine one of those ill fanatics flying to NY, bleeding all over the place.
Lastly I learned in life that people letting themselves lead by hatred and revenge usually are not the most practical thinkers. Doesn't mean I'm a pacifist at heart. If you want to kill the guy, just do it and don't make a fuss about it. Makes it easier and better for all involved.

Well after a weeks training in Germany 2 weeks ago, she flew back to the US a couple days ago to join her unit and yesterday they deployed. They will be stationed in Senegal and she'll be in charge of distributing material and equipment to the needed areas. Not too bad but they will have to maintain/fix equipment that comes back to them from the infected areas, that worries me a bit . Hopefully they have their s$%# together.

Lovely young lady, I know you are proud! I pray for her protection, along with all on this deployment.
Hoping she stays safe. Should be fine, the risk of transmission is greatest if dealing actively with infected patients and no doubt all the precautions will be used, better get used to a hazmat suit etc...
