We, all of us -- you and me, are "at war!" We are at war with ignorance -- that cannot distinguish between those Americans who think differently than we do and "terrorists" who would kill us all indiscriminately to please their "imagined" god! We are at war -- with our own lack of empathy for those who die in third world countries! We are at war -- with our stupidity about the world at large, about differences between religions, with our own desire to stay uninvolved while someone is literally holding a gun to our head!
We are at war -- with indifference, with solipsism, with our own selfishness, with our petty solutions to world problems (putting a "French Flag Filter" on my facebook page to show solidarity with the people of Paris), with our own fear(s)! We cannot win any of these wars -- until we open our eyes and see ISIS for what it is, and kill it before it kills us!
