Resisting the Terrorists
The terrorists are winning. They are not winning because of our inept performance on the battlefields of Iraq and Syria. They are not winning because a pair of Islamic extremists killed 14 people in San Bernardino, as tragic as that was. They are winning because they are succeeding in terrorizing us. “ISIS is not going to conquer the United States,” says Cato scholar Michael D. Tanner. “But it can make us change our way of life — if we let it. It can make us give in to fear and bigotry. …If ISIS succeeds in that, it will have won. That’s something every American should fight against.”
