I've scoffed at this change in threat level; our national security isn't under threat, our national interests abroad are.

You don't think Westerners coming back from Syria/Iraq after fighting with ISIS are a threat? They've not been exactly kind to local Syrians and Iraqis either.

Edit: personally I don't like the idea of Europeans killing people in foreign countries, whether they do it for their national armies or for ISIS.

Yeah, I doubt even UKIP nutters think ISIS poses any threat to "Western civilization", nobody wants to the ones to die in the odd bombing, though (+ the political consequences).

They don't like being called stupid and ignorant either (even if it's true).
