Cartoons: mostly about ISIS

Today's selection of cartoons include some observations about ISIS (vs. ISIL), PTSD, and climate change.

To keep up with news on ISIS and related topics, you may want to pin NBC News' ISIS Terror page in your browser. On the other hand you may want to opt out of watching the news on the grounds that it's just another way for the fear mongers to sell stuff.

A fair amount has been said about the U.S.'s continuing involvement in the Middle East and Africa. There's a collection of articles at the Economist that dig a little deeper, beginning with "Caliphornia dreamin’"(look for links to the other articles at the bottom of the page). BTW, PTSD is Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. (Had to look it up myself--funny, but perpetual sounds more right.)
