The list of bad things far more likely to happen to you than Muslim terrorism is very, very long, and none of it inspires such utter, batshit nonsense from journos, pundits, and politicians as a bit of high profile, downtown slaughter.
And the looniest of it all comes to you from the political right, where Cruz and Trump are outbidding each other in nutso.
US presidential candidates respond to attacks in Brussels
Perhaps it would help maintain a sense of proportion if politicians would knock off talking nonsense about us all being at war and speak of this as a crime issue, and by no means the most important in the world today.
Sure, in Syria, Iraq, and a number of other places, there is actual warfare.
But not in Europe and not in the Americas.
And whether or not ISIS is destroyed, governments can no more prevent terrorism than they can end rape and take back the night, as our radical feminist friends put it.
Phooey.
