That is not the way some previous generations would have handled this.

Disagree. No previous generation in the US had to deal with this exact issue. And no, border skirmishes with Mexico are not the same thing. It is not the same as piracy either, which has always existed on the seas, and the reaction against which hasn’t really changed over centuries.

The ideologically driven suicide bomber cult, as a sustained movement, is new to us.
