Criminals r tried where they commit crime regardless of claimed "original" citizenship. Any such ISIS cuties shd face Iraqi justice, not the politically correct Indian one which might apply 'selective protection at all costs' principle to say bacchi bigar gayi, prem se chhor do.
In case the infamous German or Belgian examples are cited: I am aware of European legal foxtrot to force govs to repatriate Europe's own ISIS cutie pies to protect them. Side effect, hubby of German ISIS cutie got away with jail term in Germany, not torn limb from limb in Iraq.
That cute ISIS hubby of cutie ISIS pie German woman, bought a slave and her child from khalifa approved slave market, and chained the child in the sun until she died from dehydration in front of her mother.
Now this wonderful specimen of faith, feminist, progressive lifestyle will be treated 'humanely", "rehabilitated", and once out will pontificate on the goodness of promised Caliphate life which German progressive MP's will cite as exemplary sentiments. I dont want that on my ppl.

On a lighter view on the retirement, in light of CA debates, '49 on how "old men" wr the most sagacious/mature/foresighted: Had Nehru retired at 60, he wd hv done the CA, but not confirmed Tibet to CPC or gone to Bandung lobbying for Maoist China, and not be there in '62.
Had MK Gandhi retired at 60, he wd have started the career of Jawarlal, but that would be it. I think it would be an interesting exercise for alt hist buffs to fill out the scenarios.
The point is that there can be serious skewering of course for a nation and ppl if individuals persist in power who get fixated on apparatus of personal power, and in turn get fixed in applying tools s/he initially succeeded with - but that no longer is the best for the ppl.

1) Many problems actually. Start with "no difficulty". For advocates, of necessity one side will fail even if seemingly having "no difficulty". If s/he fails too many times, s/he wont hv clients, and wont need to argue. No such market or otherwise fail-criteria to judge judges.
2) In fact judiciary is so far above critical assessment, that there is a de facto absence of answerability or assessment that is independent of themselves. The only body in a democratic state with power over others without any independent oversight or accountability to the ppl.
3) that "no difficulty" claim becomes even more of a self-certification for judges than for the advocate - whom, it is expected, that at the least market forces will assess whether she/he is really in "no difficulty" or otherwise.

1) Every year I fret and fume in private abt my undergrad maths students previous years "algebra" prep which basically thwarts what I need to get them to do. But I think its precisely the "engagement/application/utility" route Gates is advocating that has worsened the situation.
2) Forcing the mind to think abstractly right from the beginning, through the algebraic structures - opens up the simple relationships between the structures and their properties - which "examples" route diverts frm and blocks developing the ability to think abstractly.
3) what I see is a dumb "AI" style pattern matching from "examples/applications" and not the simpler and more direct abstract thinking. If the "examples" dont match the issue at hand, "nearest neighbour" need not help - as the thinking needed to use it is not there.

1) There is a grave risk when a text becomes a wishing mirror where we search for and find reinforcement of thoughts we were already leaning towards, perhaps without being aware of it. artofmanliness.com/character/advi…
2) the first flaw is the destruction or erasure of the context of the text itself: who created it for whom, when, and for what. When the Gita is picked apart for pieces that seem to strike a "solution" for our "problems", the context of the war in which it originated -gets lost.
3) even if it is suspected that there were accretions to the original composition, over time - all of those layers, both the presumed core and accretion, all tell a story and a view thats comprehensive - and is intimately connected to how the "Hindu" has traveled over the ages.

1) Interestingly, historically - west or middle European attacks on Russia were perhaps more numerous than the Russian attacks on the west. European narrative of a permanent victimhood is a complex military political expansionist mindset that covers a whole slew of faultlines.
2) East Europe faced its most brutal attacks not from Russia, but from murderous Steppe hordes, Mongols and Turks, Teutonic knights crusaders (yes they put their tails between rumps after a century in the Levant but had their pleasure on Poles, Lithuanians, assorted Germanics)
3) Europe mounted at least four major campaigns against Russia over the last two centuries, one of which was formally on securing of protection of orthodox communities under Islamist Ottoman empire - when Christian France and UK joined hands with Muslim Ottomans against Russia.

Just a reaffirmation that after the Brits, Americans hv been the greatest facilitators, and whitewashers of jihadi sadism on non-Christian non-Muslims - a brilliant proxy to express religious and racist hatred of those the they consider as religious and racially Untermenschen.
Every campaign against "Islamophobia" is aimed at silencing those who criticize both the history and ongoing reality of jihadi atrocity on non-Muslims, as well as preventing the stories of victims of jihad from coming out and alerting the non-Muslim to take preventive measures.
There is a European problem, led by British colonial construction of colour based race identity - which becoming politically incorrect takes the cover of anti-Muslim wherever feasible within Europe. But that Euro racism is directed at anything that's visually different.
