#1 Nice to see this in the British Press.

Not to mention, France's expulsion of radical imams. However, I want to see their reaction after a succesful terrorist attack in France.

#2 It will take more than force to "crack terror." Terrorism relies upon random application of barbaric savagery. A spiked club of monstrous proportion must be held over their heads, poised to retaliate against any further atrocities. Such a deterrent does exist. It is up to our leaders to overcome any squeamishness concerning the brutal repression of those who seek to commit global cultural genocide.

#3 To clarify a little:

This is a fight to the death with forces who - quite explicitly - have no regard for the value of human life and who make no demands coherent or consistent enough to be comprehensible. This is not politics as we know it. It is not war - or even terrorism as an act of war - as we have previously understood it. It is a kind of mystical nihilism.

I am forced to wonder how long and how many atrocities it is going to take before the world's population finally understands this.

It will also involve quite a few concessions with what we regard as our ancient freedoms.

And this is pure horseradish. The only concession which must be made is recognizing that it will take a really, really big stick to club Islamic fundamentalists into submission.

When enough tens of thousands of people have died and enough trillions of dollars have been bled out of our world by way of flat economies and forcible regime change, maybe then the world's governments will realize that there does exist a credible deterrent to terrorism.
