Okay - I'm going to sit by you, if that's okay. *takes next seat*
I hope it will be okay....
It's just how I'm seeing it from my particular point of view.
It's definitely terrifying but we also foil lots and lots of these plots and we're getting better.
I mean we'll end up with no freedoms whatsoever but no more terrorism!!
It sucks... it really does.

Well, maybe it would mean more leniency for irrelevant offenses.....
like having an abortion or smoking weed.

The world leaders are actively mustering for what they're calling a "War Summit".
The PM of the UK and Obama have already spoken, saying this is an attack on the West, and that they will be going after ISIS for real now.
The stated goal of the U.S. had been to decapitate ISIS, but the group, claiming credit for the attacks in Paris, has shown that containment and decapitation clearly don't work against an organization that courts death and is atomized to the point individuals or small groups can act largely on their own.
ISIS has quickly matured during the Obama administration from a group the President once called al Qaeda's "JV team" to a terrifying threat to the West.
It's a threat the U.S. and Europe clearly do not yet fully understand.
Before the attack, Obama spoke reassuringly about the growth of ISIS in the MIddle East, suggesting that while the terror group had not been beaten, it had been controlled.

WW3 has jumped the fence. This is it. Buckle up
No it hasn't, just the same terrorist groups doing what they do. Now if the was evidence that a major super power had something to do with it. As in funding or supplying and training then I would say maybe.
Collectively, the G-20 have stated that Syria's loyalists and rebels have to agree to a total CEASE-FIRE and go to the table to talk.
Stupid as that sounds that has been their goal all along...
