ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos asked over the weekend whether there is a danger of the U.S. overreacting to the threat posed by ISIS, the terrorist organization that has overtaken large swaths of Iraq, slaughtering all in its path.

“[I]t struck me how quickly this has all moved. From ISIS being a minor threat, the president talking about it several months ago as the junior varsity, to now an imminent threat, the words of [Secretary of Defense] Chuck Hagel, to the United States. And I guess I wonder, is there a danger here of overreacting?” Stephanopoulos asked his guest, conservative author and commentator Bill Kristol.
