Attacks in Paris

[worsleyweb]

This is not about left wing or right wing. It is about protecting decent people from a murderous cult. I dread to think what is going to happen in Paris tonight.

The problem is that this is a hidden enemy....not a real conventional war....remember the IRA? We had to talk to them to stop the bombs and most of the shootings

It COULD happen anywhere...

Glossop, Bristol, Windermere, Truro...take your pick.

It could, but we have the very best intelligence on the game in the UK, its something we are very good at, we'll never stop them all, but we have stopped many, apart from the sad case of Lee Rigby.

Is this some sort of retaliation towards Jihadi John? If so I can't see it stopping here!

I doubt it, a coordinated attack like this takes some planning. I hope the hostages are ok but I don't think it will end well for some of them.

So basically we're stuck with them?

No I don't think so - but one thing is for certain - we will be stuck in a perpetual cycle of violence if the best we can come up with is to prosecute a policy of shock 'n awe/revenge/retribution/fight fire with fire/nuke the bastards.

Yeah but the IRA wanted something realistic, ISIS just want to kill everyone who isn't like them. They don't want their country back or they don't want a certain politician gone they want to kill everyone. You can't talk people like that down.

Appease at your peril.

Sad state of affairs but a European civil war is coming, hope not but it looks inevitable

Boots on ground and we would fucking destroy these cunts though I wouldn't want that to happen.

It's depressing, wish there was something someone could do! I bet everyone just feels so helpless!

Count has gone up to 40 dead now!
