We have concluded that preventing acts of mass violence on U.S. soil
isn’t important enough to restrict access to assault weapons — but
that this goal is, nonetheless, vital enough to justify turning away
tens of thousands of Syrian refugees on the baseless suspicion that
welcoming them will increase the frequency of such attacks; and that
the mass murder of 58 concertgoers by an apolitical white man is an
event unworthy of any policy response whatsoever — but the prospect of
politically motivated Muslims committing similar atrocities is such an
existential threat, it is worth overthrowing sovereign governments,
killing more than 1 million foreign civilians, and investing trillions
of American dollars in an indefinite, global war aimed at
extinguishing every last radical Islamist who might have even
daydreamed about committing such an attack.
