"being afraid of ISIS is like being afraid of whats under your bed"
Wrong. There isn't anything under my bed. But there is a huge number of jihadists who would cut my kids' heads off if they could get their hands on them.
"you have become exactly what they want you to be AFRAID"
I would argue you have become what they want us to be - clueless.
"you accept their legitimacy "
I do? When the hell did I do that?
"call them Global"
Yes, because they operate in almost every country on the planet. I could call that "local", but that would be inaccurate.
"you make it an us against them "
No, they made it us against them when they declared jihad and flew planes into buildings. Jesus.
"allow freedoms to be reduced for some ...for the protection of the others"
You betcha.
"ts been done before and wasn't a shining moment in our History"
Every criminal law we have on the books, every single one, limts the freedom of some, for the protection of someone else. Should we do away with criminal laws?
