And 'being meaningful' doesn't have to involve death. I remember how ticked off I was with the visual reports of ISIS destroying ancient artifacts and centuries-old buildings. In those cases, nobody was killed.
And before that the Talaban.
Sadly zealots of all stripes seem to feel the only way for them to prevail is to destroy everything from the past in the belief that will make true history to begin with them.
If we knew what it was we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?
