FRANCE!

And yet our wonderful blind European politicians encourage, no make that enforce, multiculturalism onto us here. If this is what eight fanatics can do I dread to imagine how many of the 800,000 ´´refugees´´ who this year alone have arrived are preparing to bite the hand that feeds them in this or other terrible ways.

Stay strong France and wake up Europe, although I´m sure I´m not alone in thinking it is already way too late and the Trojan horse is already long in our midst.

It will never end until we start emphasizing understanding between these cultures, rather than killing the Other.

The reason one side doesn't value their own lives, much less anyone else's, is because the other side has taken every opportunity - across decades - to treat them as though their lives have no value. From propping up brutal dictators to arming extremist thugs to killing people, some innocent, via remote control - if your culture was treated that way for two generations, you too might feel like your life meant nothing.
And perhaps a little angry too.

Only when one side stops steamrolling entire countries and cultures in the name of corporate profits, and killing in the name of an ephemeral theory of government (read: "democracy") will this cycle of violence end.

There maybe several differing view points among us on this tragedy. Let's not let those views divide us here. Concentrate your thoughts on the victims: or perpetrators if you must, but let's not start casting blame to the right or left among us. Now is not the time or place for that. Leave that for the political candidates.
We were all friends here yesterday morning, there is no reason that should not remains so today.
Temperance folks.

No, in fact, your initial comment was both fair and on point. Those who do not understand that a high percentage of terrorist acts are directly or indirectly in response to atrocious and largely indefensible American foreign policy (and to a lesser extent that of other Western powers), are not well informed (or worse).

While it can reasonably be argued that such policies should not be a justification for extreme violence against innocents, understanding the root causes will be the only path to a significant reduction of terrorism emanating from the ME. Unless, that is, people are prepared to live in truly dystopian security states.

For those who are interested in learning more about the roots of contemporary terrorism, I highly recommend spending three hours or so watching this three part BBC series that was produced back in 2004. It is excellent.
