Summary
The second of recent attacks on a US firebase in Iraq by ISIS resulted in no American deaths and apparently two ISIS ones, at least. Although, a week ago, a US marine soldier was killed in an ISIS attack at that base, with a few more wounded and in care in Germany. The base was deliberately targeted, sources say, with its inhabitants of 200 marine soldiers. A possible reason for the outright aggression, people speculate, might be the exceeding amount of US soldiers in Iraq, around 4,500-5,000 soldiers as opposed to the rule that states only around 3,000-4,000 allowed.
Analysis
Although ISIS is a huge topic of today, the subject seems so far away. The idea of such a radical terrorist organization existing and even hoping to bring down the US is astounding and terrifying. This could be a very mellowed version of what the American populous felt during the Cold War. The sort of paranoia and fear that grips the nation and clouds our judgement.
