Because war is massively economically and politically expensive. No global leader wants to spend political capital on people who won't vote for them. ISIS will thrive and expand until it is a direct threat. Only then will action be taken.

Criminals in the UK are far more likely to give up when confronted. Take a look at the list of UK police fatalities. There are entire years without a single death from any cause. (Traffic accidents, heart attacks suffered during foot chases, etc.) If you compare deaths caused by attacks by suspects you have to go back 25 years to get as many deaths as US cops had by in 2014 alone. Granted, the UK is a smaller country, but even going by rate per capita, cops in the US are forced to defend themselves much more often.

A V8. I've always been a small car kind of guy. But the rumble, the torque, the comfort... Now I see what it's all about.

If people weren't fighting against it, they'd have no market. It'd be so normal as to be unremarkable.

Birdshot has a very low ballistic coefficient, and slows down rapidly due to air resistance. When it falls back to earth, it's basically like throwing a handful of BBs at someone from across a room. Except even smaller and lighter than BB gun BBs. They don't even penetrate tree leaves. This is why you use a 20 ga. shotgun to hunt squirrels sitting in trees. It's very safe (for everyone except the squirrel), whereas even a .22 bullet will retain a lot of energy at long distances. This guy picked the exact right tool for the job.

Pop. 1280 by Jim Thompson. One of the most delightful examples of an unreliable narrator.
