Attacks in Paris

[big blue balls]

I'm praying it doesn't happen, but i can see it happening. europe is so divided at the minute especially in places like france. this will cause a lot of anger and retribution

If there have been German fatalities in this carnage tonight God help Merkel

Sounds callous, but think objectively rather than subjectively. If we are going to allow people into Europe then they need to have background checks. I like our governments stance of taking refugees from Syrian camps as well - disincentives them to make that horrendous journey.

Whatever happens, all refugees should be temporary, which simply won't be the case with the huge numbers Merkel invited.

Well they would do, considering they are balls deep in whats going on.

Intelligence is the only way to contain any conflict

Fully agree. What's scarier, the Government knowing what porn you watch or terror attacks on the streets? The Gov can 'snoop' on me all they like if it helps foil future attacks.

So what do we do? I'm very concerned at the way this IS thing is going

Depressingly, I don't think there is a solution. You just have to try and contain as best you can. Which in itself is a pretty bleak prospect.

Totally agree but can see IS twisting it in a message of you mess with us this is what we will do to you

Of course, propaganda is their biggest aim, that's why its called terrorism, its all very sad.

Nobody has an answer to it, that's what's concerning.

It wasn't boots on the ground that fucked up Iraq and Afghanistan. It was the fact that we had no government to take over. In Afghanistan, there is none. On Iraq, we had Saddam. Brutal as he was, he didn't allow this element to carve out a state in his domain. In Iraq, we were dumb to sack everyone involved with the previous administration. Those unemployed government officials started the insurgency.

In Syria, we have Assad. Reinstall him, as Russia is attempting. Kill Isis. It cannot survive with the death of their caliph, Al Baghdadi, against Assad with western backing. That's how Isis can be stopped. They are not a shadowy guerilla group. They are a real state with towns and checkpoints and materiel.
