Automobile accidents in the US kill 32,000 people a year. Cancer kills about 500,000 per year. Heart disease kills over 700,000 per year.
Yet people fixate on a once in 200 year tragedy that killed 3,000 people. That many people die like clockwork just from automobile accidents every single month.
If you are concerned with saving American lives (never mind all the other lives around the world that are just as worth saving), why would you not try to prevent something that's very preventable and happens every single month, every single year, on a far larger scale, and that doesn't involve hating anyone?
You know, at first you were talking about defending the US. Now, you want to do what? Save lives in the rest of the world?
Well, ISIS is still going to have to get far in the back of the line in terms of world-wide deaths and displacements, both from war, disease, poverty, and malnutrition.
But you know what ISIS has that the rest don't have? The media as its PR team. Just like every other word out of the media's mouth during the election was "Trump", so every other word out of its mouth is "ISIS". It's no wonder some now think that ISIS must be the most important problem in the world. But it's far from even being in the running.
