I really don’t think ISIS, ISIL, Islamic State or whatever they’re calling themselves this week, is a great threat to the United States. If one of these terrorists crosses our border and murders an American citizen, then it’ll be another daily murder in the United States. The biggest danger is the propaganda the terrorists will gain from such an action.
Crossing a border or getting on an airplane will be a lot easier for a virus than a terrorist. Ebola threatens to kill more Americans than any Middle East Terrorist. If it successfully latches on in the U.S. it’ll also threaten Canada and Mexico.
A lot of conservatives make a joke about being threatened more by global warming than ISIS. It’s a bad joke and it’ll land on them. Global warming might be slow and creeping but it will do lasting harm than a bomb or a lunatic cutting off heads.
Now that all of that is said, just how often do I get to use “oopsies” in a political cartoon?

Excellent!
