Various thoughts on the recent Paris attacks, most not solely from me:
1) If you can distinguish Christians from the KKK and Westboro Baptist Church, you should be able to distinguish Islam from ISIS.
2) The wave of refugees in Europe are fleeing the very same people who launched this attack.
3) There are 6 million Muslims in France - if 1/10th of 1 percent were "terrorists" there would be 6,000 of them. There aren't.
4) From Paul Krugman - randomly shooting people in restaurants will not establish a Caliphate in Paris. It's a tactic of the militarily weak.
5) From me - Saddam Hussein was a wart on the ass of prosperity, but our mismanagement of his removal created the environment for ISIS.
