Interesting discussion Milo and DFL.Your points are going to be the discussion narratives. The already strong French far-right-wing, and just normal people, will react asking, how can we stop this happening?
The better half said something of note: we live in historically the safest of times. Watch too much 24 hour news and you wouldn't leave your house.
I lived in Paris for 6 months. Know some of these areas. Really feel for the French people. How do you react to something like this? So soon after the previous attacks? Maybe troops on the ground to wipe out ISIS.
The reaction to 9/11 was the Afghanistan and Iraq wars. And you might argue that this today is related to those wars. That the instability caused was a catalyst for ISIS. Is it cyclical?
I think the reason I like football, and posting tripe on here, is so you can forget the serious things for a bit. But this is unprecedented.
