Your heart sinks for the French nation, coping with another attack on their citizens. Words seem useless, prayer nearly as much...

Shocking as it is we are almost becoming too used to the slaughter of innocent people, every day there is another one
I just cannot understand the mentality of these killers, and the seemingly ready supply of weapons. We don't seem to hear of events like these in countries such as Russia - is there a lesson there
I write as one who has booked a holiday in Benidorm in September, seed planted as to whether to cancel

My daughter and her family are off to the south of France next Monday.
I could appeal to her not to go,but I know she will still go.
She says you can't let the terrorists win,but I worry about my little grandchildren.

I know we should carry on as normal but it is worrying We will still go, had to cancel a planned visit in April because of surgery so am looking forward to going I do wonder if I will get on a plane with a suspicious looking fellow passenger. Security at Zaventem airport in Belgium is now very tight following the attack there, passengers were being screened before entering the airport when we were recently there. It was amazing to see a passenger in a full burka being pounced on actually in the airport, and the burka pulled off. I thought this is going to have repercussions but underneath the outfit was a man. He had been sussed out in the toilets apparently. He was swiftly led away

I remember after The Bataclan seeing Max Hastings on TV...he said IS would never expand or proliferate to any great extent because it is simply not attractive. Their numbers will always be small. But disaffected men with grudges are easily radicalised... and will see an answer by joining them.
Yes, all that havoc and tragic loss caused by one individual.

It has become a cliche, but if we change our way of life, terrorists have achieved their aim.
Gus' man-in-a-burka would certainly have spooked me and I can understand Althea's fears for her grandchildren... however, for myself, nothing would stop me going where I wanted.

The main media coverage has been fairly discreet but on the internet there is video taken after it happened with mangled bodies all over the Promenade
Awful

I don't see it as a "side show", I se it more as showing the world what the result of such barbaric action results in. Innocent victims and children slaughtered If this it a terrorist action hopefully it will dissuade many from supporting them, the mind set of the dedicated zealots will never change of course

On the contrary...those engaged in their cause of attacking their enemies, will see this as a victory and would be glad to see the carnage their 'soldier' wrought. Did the filming of the beheading of Alan Henning deter anybody? Their reasoning as as far from ours as the east is from the west. What understanding will it bring me by watching video clips of their barbarism? |
