It'd be much easier to drop bombs on Syria than France, much more convenient to have an enemy abroad than at home. That's what i'm thinking. Metrojet crash was claimed basically immediately, this up to this point wasn't. | ||

Yeah, the coordination suggests otherwise for me, but it's not like i'd believe IS on their word. The next couple of days should give more clarification on that. | ||

Its not like there is a big bad guy in some secret base in Syria who gives orders to all terrorists. This is exactly how it was with al-Qaeda, the media seemed to believe that the original group from Afghanistan was plotting almost every terrorist attack in Iraq. | ||

A few take-away messages: - This was the worst night for France since the great wars, and will change the country forever. - This laid bare the failings of French security services in ways that raise global questions, especially as these attacks closely follow Charlie Hebdo. - If the arrested terrorist's claims are verified, this marks the first confirmed ISIS operation outside of the ME (the sinai plane bombing might qualify but we know very little about that too). - Despite the horror, the French and international reaction via opening doors to strangers, taxi drivers working for free, unified international condemnation has shown that the worst of times bring about the best in people. - Despite the above, the biggest winner of the night is Le Pen who's far right ideology is probably going to propel her to a presidency. - Immigrants and refugees will needlessly suffer even more because of this, despite 99.99% of them being entirely innocent of these crimes. - Nothing stops a game of football. | ||

Whats the difference between a random french ISIS fanboy killing in their name and a ISIS member from wherever else killing in their name? I don't see one. Both are ISIS. Whether the main group planned this or not, if the attackers support ISIS, it is an ISIS attack. | ||

Much truth in that last statement ^^ | ||

Because going after ISIS won't solve the problem, the same reason going after Al Qaida didn't stop the terrorism either. There is a deeper root to the terrorist problem and I'm leaning towards an internal problem within France and other Western European countries. | ||

One key difference: one is a group entirely acting on its own, the other one is ISIS actually acting globally now. If it's a local group, not much else will follow. If it was staged by ISIS, you bet that more will follow. | ||

Right, Western Europe is the problem that's why everyone is running to us right? | ||
