I live in DC and I think I have a better chance of dying by getting run over in a crosswalk by a bad driver than I do of being gunned down by ISIS.

You have utterly failed to comprehend, or even note, the deeper issues and implications of the Paris attack.

This attack, and others, are an affront against all of humanity that is part of the civilized world. You'd better believe "it's about us."

Westerners need to understand the just just medieval philosophy of ISIL: women as property; convert or die; submission to a dictatorial caliphate.

This group is unlike any other "state" - these people are not "rational actors" who can be understood through any modern norms of international diplomacy.

I see little alternative beyond what the administration is rightly doing: annihilate ISIL and try to prevent radicalization of anyone else (of any religion).
