Publically everyone might support the war on terrorism, but clearly privately fear is allowing the terrorists to win.
As usual everyone is happy to see the soldiers go to war, whilst they hide behind the curtains.

If normal people want to defeat terrorism, then the least they could do is get on with normal life instead of running
scared.

Get on that plane
Go to that event
Consume like crazy
