Terrorism follow-up

 I wrote a little bit about ISIS terrorism; how confused I am by it and how I can’t get perspective, because there are so many other causes of death that dwarf terrorism as a real danger.  Well, it turns out the solution to that terrorism has been right there, right in the question, all along; all we needed was for our friend John Steinbaugh to point it out for us. I quote (roughly): 30 terrorist incidents, but 556,000 die from smoking, 29,000 from alcohol, 35,000 in motor vehicle accidents.  How about we give the terrorists fast cars, booze and smokes in a large flat area of northern Iraq.  Give or take one year they will all be dead.  Problem solved. Oh, forgot, 24 hr. access to Kardashians on HBO.
