>>>If we would properly deal with the legitimate foreign threats (and by the way, that "you forgot" line was about as vapid as it gets), there wouldn't be as much of a pressing need for the domestic protections. That also goes for holding another countries accountable for human rights violations (especially when we offer to lift sanctions)

ISIS is a group of people rallying around a religious concept, not a foreign power.
You might as well call the Branch Davidians a foreign threat.
An ISIS member in Terre Haute, Indiana is no less a threat than one in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, or whereever.
Again.. what is a legitimate foreign threat?
