The Wall Street Journal's Peggy Noonan
writes about the hideous mess that is ISIS, the medieval madness they embrace whole-heartedly, the belief that they are the agents of the end times - God's avenging army on Earth. She quotes the President as saying:
When peaceful democratic change is impossible, it feeds into the terrorist propaganda that violence is the only available answer.
To which she replies:
Yes, sure. But the young men and women ISIS recruits from Western nations already live in peaceful democracies.
It’s not enough. They want something else. It is, ironically, disrespectful not to name what they are, and what they are about.
