Am I worried that on the eve of Ramadan there have been so many terror attacks, with over a dozen people killed? That’s not good, but that’s not what bothers me. Here’s what bothers me – that we’re all so worried about it. We’ve been through so much worse, we’ve made such progress with our Arab neighbors, we have learned so much about each other – I really believe we can work together against Isis, that most of us are benefitting from living together.
But we have to remember this, and make sure we have leaders we trust, and not leaders who react in fear. We need someone to say, like Roosevelt said – the only thing we have to fear is fear itself.
