British Aid Worker Killed By British Jihadi

A British aid worker was killed by a British Jihadi and now masses of people are calling for more bombs to be dropped on Syria.

On 9/11, America was attacked by citizens from allied countries and that generated the political will to attack Iraq.

Are most people so easily manipulated that they react with blind rage to spectacular events?

There are even cliffhangers and trailers for the next episode.

Are we that dumbed down that this is how we are now cajoled into war?

(With the willing complicity of the MSM and social media).
