No matter what it is, it is your civic responsibility to develop an informed opinion about the threat of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, and what the United States should do about it. As our generation begins to enter the “real world,” the decisions being made about ISIS today will affect us for years to come. I am not telling you what to think about ISIS, I am saying to think about ISIS. If you are ill-informed now, then you will have no right to complain about the outcome in the future.

Last April, I wrote an article, "The dangers of populism," in which I decried the growing populist sentiment welling up in the form of the AIG bonus controversy. I wrote that our country was succumbing to an "out-of-control populist bonfire." How naive I was. Far from being full blown, the fire was still in the kindling stage.

During the last couple of weeks, our country seems to have fallen victim to an out-of-control populist bonfire. In lieu of the now infamous AIG bonus conundrum, every Washington politician equipped with a tongue, seized the opportunity to mercilessly pillory the AIG employees who were beneficiaries of these bonuses.
