Do you feel angry at your government for snooping into your private lives?
Or do you feel justified for fighting terrorism??

If you like warm weather, try Aleppo. I understand temps will hover around the 100 mark into next week (not counting any occasional flare-ups due to minor things such as bombs dropping all around you).
Or maybe you'd like Teheran? Perhaps Obama can even give you a side job during your next trip there the next time the government needs to fly in $400 million for the ayatollahs.
Did I say I can't sleep? Most Americans who didn't have loved ones in harms way probably slept normally during 1942-45. Did that mean they weren't concerned about what was happening in the world?
I'm not willing to fundamentally shift my perspective and lifestyle in response to it. ... I won't deny myself or family an experience of the world.

I'll accept the reality and problem of the rise of terrorism but I won't fall asleep at night frightened of it.

Yup, there are places in the world that are dangerous presently. there are far more that aren't. Again, ratio of fear to appreciation for adventure.
It's a colorful phrase, "sleep at night." I worry about the state of humankind, but I don't spend any time at all wondering what's laying in wait for me up the road.
