One of the big arguments floated to justify the War on Terror shenanigans is "what you don't understand is that these people want to kill us!"
Maybe this comes from being a jew, but I go through life assuming that there are lots of people who want to kill me at any given time. Like, right now, I could travel to backwoods Idaho and find a whole bunch of them.
Fortunately for me, they generally lack the means to kill me. That's really the issue.
Why should it matter to me if someone around the world wants to kill me? Is that really particularly surprising, unsettling, or meriting of further thought? Why should I change my life because of it?
