There's huge difference, and I think not seeing that is part of the
problem. All violence isn't neo-liberal/colonialist in origin, all warfare
isn't 'fundamentally' the same, and all aims aren't even commensurate; for
that matter, for me, even the idea of 'origin' becomes suspect; you can
trace local histories as far back as you like, things are much more
tangled than they appear on the surface.
- Alan - I should apologize for the initial post - I received an email
from a moderator at nettime who told me it was "bog-standard" behavior
then - which it wasn't, and these discussions tend to become over-loaded.
re below - ISIS is the child of a _lot_ of things and to simplify it with
a family model again obscures the complexity and (for me) the violence.

they just have different methods to achieve their aims ...
