It's interesting listening to him talk about how his father was radicalized. We've got so many people who've allowed this to happen to them. I've heard a lot of derision of muslim countries and the amount of radicalization they foment, I've thought it from time to time. But now, look how quickly we slid and nearly fell over that edge. Heck, we just took a step back from it but we're still dangerously close to being history's next cautionary tale.
