Millions of people

have been obsessively following the news from Paris, putting aside other things to focus on the horror. It’s the natural human reaction. But let’s be clear: it’s also the reaction the terrorists want. And that’s something not everyone seems to understand.

Take, for example, Jeb Bush’s declaration that “this is an organized attempt to destroy Western civilization.” No, it isn’t. It’s an organized attempt to sow panic, which isn’t at all the same thing. And remarks like that, which blur that distinction and make terrorists seem more powerful than they are, just help the jihadists’ cause.

Now, PARP is calling for 'more bombs', with Ted Cruz saying we should ignore civilian casualties. This is exactly what ISIS wants, as young Ahmed and Omar, who see their innocent relatives killed and wounded, grow up with a hatred toward the west and a mission in life. Bomb 'em, (just like PARP recommends for the other team), and the cycle goes on, after GW and The Dick wrecked the delicate balance of the Middle East and unleashed the hounds of hell.
