> ... not intended to cause general terror. Maybe, although it's hard to imagine there's no intent for drone strikes to act as a deterrent. It's not identical to idiomatic terrorism, but also not completely different. > Ignore ISIS? That's dangerous. There are no choices available here that aren't extremely dangerous. None. Least of all the cookie-cutter 'war hawk' attitudes that got us into this mess in the first place. Personally my suspicion is that ignoring them is probably the least dangerous. ISIS is an organisation that feeds on radicalisation, it feeds on aggression. Aggression is its recruiting tool. Build a mosque. Build a mosque so f%cking huge and beautiful that even hearing about it makes ISIS fighters weep. Change the music and all this will be over in a few years. Feed the war machine and we're here for another generation at least.
