friend,
We’re all still reeling from the terror attack in Orlando. And with all the other attacks in Paris, Brussels, and San Bernardino in the last year, is there anything the US government can do to protect us? In this video, Don Boudreaux looks at the presidential candidates’ stances on combating terrorism. Trump has said he plans to target the families of terrorists. And his plan for ISIS is to “bomb the $@!# out of them.” Meanwhile, almost every candidate seems enthusiastic about increasing the ability of the NSA to peek into the private lives of anyone at any time. But other candidates have pointed out the dangerous unintended consequences of these broad-brush policies. Indeed, drone strikes that harm civilians abroad may even create more terrorists plotting to strike us here at home.
Watch, share, and comment on the video. Can we make America safer by increasing our anti-terror intervention or by limiting and focusing it? Cheers,
Learn Liberty
P.S. How are you getting involved? Are you giving to charities that support the victims and their families? Donating blood? Or doing something completely different? Tell us in the comments!
