I agree that most Americans would probably be alarmed to attend a national security briefing, but I think that only illustrates a more general point: there are a lot of horrors in the world that most of us are only too happy to ignore. For example, would you sleep at night if you had to watch a prison rape every day?
We’ve discussed this endlessly in the past but I remain stuck on it: if I have a better chance of dying via car crash, shower slip ‘n fall, cancer, heart disease, etc., why should I focus only on terrorism? (and I say this upon pains of being called a spineless, Europe-loving, fascist appeaser in the comments)
