MM, by the way, JF's point-of-view is that terrorism isn't as big of a deal as we make it out to be. If you do the math, 3,000 people dying on 9/11 is small compared to the thousands who die in car crashes every year, for instance. The chances of someone dying due to terrorism is very, very low, according to him. Hence we shouldn't be living in constant fear, or sacrificing billions of dollars and over a thousand American lives chasing "ghosts."

In other words, I don't think appeasement is what JF is preaching. Instead, he's preaching realism, but the problem is that it all depends on what your definition of "reality" is.
