If you want to feel the impact of the Paris slaughter, read some of the biographical profiles of the victims in a Washington Post feature story, like these two I randomly selected:
Stella Verry, 37
Verry, a general practitioner and
pharmacist, had worked at a small practice in Paris's 19th
arrondissement since April 2014, according to the Web site Le Quotidien
du Medicin. She was known as an affable and excellent doctor. Associates
reported that she had worked with emergency medical services of Paris
since 2012.
"Ms. Verry was always close to her patients, particularly respectful and understanding of difficult situations, always smiling," said an administrator at the practice. "The doctors melted into tears" upon hearing of her death, she said. "It is a terrible shock. Why Ms. Verry?"

Quentin Mourier, 29
"VU has lost one of its most active members," Vergers Urbains (Urban Orchards) wrote on Twitter. "Quentin Mourier was at the Bataclan. He will be missed."
Mourier, who according to his résumé was a PhD architecture student, was described in Le Parisien newspaper as an “idealist and pacifist” who was always ready with advice for friends about the best and most interesting music to listen to.
Some of the profiles include photos, all include outpourings of grief for many young lives lost to madness.
Does ISIS believe the survivors of these poor people will somehow become advocates for their cause? Will have their eyes opened and see that ISIS is right?
Here's a graph from a Gallup poll taken before the attacks in Paris. What percentage of American see terrorism as the biggest problem facing the U.S. Currently? 3%. How quickly we forget.
