My prayers to all the victims of this senseless attack. Also, my prayers and offer of help to anyone that loves/d them and care/d about them.
I had a really busy day, yesterday and didn't really get to sit down in front of the TV until about 17.20, my time. I was greeted by Sheppard Smith telling me that there had been explosions at a soccer game and there were 100 hostages being held, elsewhere.
Just then, I heard him say: "Just entering the set is Geraldo Rivera ..." His daughter had lived through the attack at the soccer match. It was with very mixed emotions that I listened to Geraldo break down on live television because his daughter was alive when I remembered the guy giving away US Military positions on live television. I wondered how many parents cried with 72 hours of that cluster fuck?
It dawned on me that 30 years ago (or pretty close), France was starting to get a reputation for "protecting" terrorists. They didn't do much to co-operate with INTERPOL on finding and arresting suspects. They didn't allow the US to fly through French airspace to carry out an attack on a terrorist.
17 years ago (or so), when I was involved with a young lady from the UK, I remember chastising people for their closed-mindedness about bitching about "the frogs" for allowing terrorists free access to the UK by way of France's porous borders and that train tunnel that goes under the channel.
So ... I sat, not really in shock but in horror as I watched and listened to people with French accents speaking about how much good the PATRIOT ACT did us after those horrible attacks of 15 years ago.
There's a large contingent in this country that seem to want us to be as much like Europe as possible. There's some Europeans on these boards who make that argument, almost daily.
Thirty-plus years of porous borders and a general attitude of ignorance toward the problem that terrorism presents, coupled with a "we need to be tolerant of everything " way of living and governing are what we saw playing out in Paris, last night.
If we keep choosing mamby-pamby, gutless, feckless leaders, we'll face the same (again).
This is NOT the "JV team". This is not just a bunch of poor, misunderstood, mis-directed souls. This is a well-trained, dedicated, determined force that has decided that our way of life must be eradicated. This is an army with whom we are and have been at war for at least 36 years (in one form or another).
Unlike the warfare of the last 60-ish years, we need to target them and wipe them off the face of the planet.
I do feel badly for the victims of the attacks and all the people, quaking in their homes and I'd like to take some steps to ensure there are as few more as possible.
It's time for a "holy war" of our own.

The problem with your sentiment, which I respect to a degree is that these so called Muslims are not really Muslims, just desperate ideology trying to make it impact on the world before it is regulated to the trash bin of history......
