Bye Bye Boukamal

I doubt if you've ever heard of Boukamal.  It's a small city in Syria near the border with Iraq.  It is also the last city that ISIS held in Syria, but not anymore.  The ISIS forces were driven out of Boukamal in the last few days.  That means that ISIS no longer holds anything larger than a few small towns in Syria.  Most likely, those towns will soon fall as well.

With so much of the world in a tizzy about all manner of things, it's important to remember that some things do go well.  The end of ISIS in Syria is a great victory for humanity, and one about which we should all be happy.
