plays absolutely no part in it, and throwing a hissing fit every time it's pointed out that it does indeed happen, and throwing a tantrum every time its pointed out that this is a recipe for extremism, is not lost on the rest of the world. Just saying.
When the choice is cheap oil, cheap gas for your car, cheap food, cheap clothes and sneakers and terrorist attacks
OR
more expensive oil, more expensive gas, food, clothes and sneakers, and fewer terrorist attacks,
do you think our Govts are going for the latter? How much are we willing to pay? Won't happen and not much but we are told to dream on, we can have the best of both worlds and nothing bad will happen. It's a dream of convenience and entitlement.
As for the attacks now, they are as horrifying as they always are, no matter where and how.
