"Why Are We So Scared?"

++Jos Marshall musters the evidence of terrorist attacks worse than San Bernandino in past years in Spain and London. He thinks Americans are bordering on panic. Why? Partly it's because the GOP candidates can only sell fear. Most probably because ISIS propaganda is primarily aimed at a Western audience. Instead of bin Laden speaking in Arabic about cerebral matters,ISIS produced visceral CDs that galvanized a public reaction. Today a Reuters poll showed that Americans now favored sending troops to fight ISIS. The propaganda is paying off. ISIS and George W. Bush share the same belief that Gog and Magog are loose in the Middle East. A great theme to stir up our theocrats.
