It Makes a Difference to the Sheep

TERRORISM CAUSES HAPPINESS?.

Terror leads to contentment and happiness? Perhaps that's utterly bogus. But maybe it isn't. A crisis does bring people together, and that does make people feel better. There are probably a lot more lonely and isolated people in Canada than in Israel.

If this from-the-hip analysis is correct, terrorism completely and utterly fails.

I think the reality is a bit more complex but the sense of community that is engendered by facing a common threat may be valued by the group.
