#1 I'm just plumb out of room on my refrigerator door for any more of these "they're so smart" and "they're so scary" and they're so bouncy and resiliant" and "we're doomed" and "we're just shit" stories. Never in history have there been assholes caught or dying in such numbers and yet glorified for their imaginary prowess.

Gimme a break.

#2 The best PR weapon is dead jihadis. Nobody likes to back a loser. The next best weapon is economic development. It's great to go to Paradise and all, but a new fridge is a higher priority. Unfortunately, most policy makers think economic development means big factories, big roads, big bridges, when what it really means is little guys specializing and trading amongst themselves.
