Different cultures span the globe — and with that comes different sentiments about fear.

I wondered about that to. What about the US? Of course with the negative world wide media coverage of the US the authors probably didn't feel a need to ask the question. Everyone loathes the US. This is a given right now.
I consider the biggest threat to be the inability of our so called leadership to tell the truth along with their corruption,ISIS is a joke, that's not to say they can't do some damage, but terrorism is not a big deal, drugs, booze, fast food, cigarettes and cars etc, cause more damage to our countries than the terrorists.
Yes, the economy first. No economy, no army.
