(25,642 posts)your anger and hate are the desired responses of survivors, witnesses, and any around the world who see the reports.
the people who organized these attacks want you to hate. they want Europeans and Americans to become angrier and uglier, and elect right wing extremists who do stupid shit abroad and trash our countries' economies in the process.
the direct damage from their attacks is only the start - the larger share of damage continues in the aftermath. there will be so much death as a result of this, and it will only make the jihadists stronger.
i myself get mad in waves -- every so often i want to see every member of ISIS and Al Qaeda killed, painfully, and their bodies rolled in pig shit.
but what are the odds of that happening? in the end, it's all just pointless unfocused anger that makes it harder for me to go about my day in a calm, peaceful, rational way.
meanwhile, lots of innocents will be paying the price for the jihadists' activities.
