Well, looks to me over here across the border in Canada that the American government is having a meltdown.  I feel a bit like a neighbour listening to a domestic dispute in the next house over.  It’s loud.  Things are crashing around.  People are screaming; people are crying.  I want to help, but I don’t know what to do.  Should I call the police?  I don’t think there’s any police I can call!  Should I go over there and knock on the door to protect the people getting injured?  I suppose I can roundly condemn the abusive person who’s starting the fight, but it’s not like my neighbours listened when I tried to convince them not to marry the jerk in the first place, so why do I think they’ll listen to me now?  I’ve done this much; I’ve tried to keep an extra bedroom open in case it’s needed.

Recent polls suggest that a substantial number of Americans are fearful of personally becoming a victim of a terror attack.

In fact, any given American is 4 times more likely to be struck by lightning than to fall victim to a terror attack.

The chance of being struck by lightning in the course of any given year is 1 in 500,000,000.

So, congratulations Da'ish.
