But you say you like maps...

Here is the New York Times map, with dots for all types of attacks:
The Guardian, like you said:

BTW, compare the size of the dots to the scale of the map in the NY Times version and the Guardian version. By using the same sized dots on a smaller map, the Guardian leaves the impression of a much larger fight.

This True Believer is not concerned about 'how hard it is;' he knows either he wins or dies. He doesn't go home at 17:00, he is home.
He knows only The Cause.

Still want to quit?
