Criminal behavior whether it is organized crime or lone wolves requires vigilance, intelligence, and rapid response. It does not involve military action. With the logic displayed on this thread, we will be inviting the armed forces to replace local police and the FBI here in America. The goal of terror has always been over response and the creation of fear. Another thread talks about how wimpy this nation has become. We need to realize that danger exists, and collectively be vigilant and aware, but we cannot become the scardy cats which are manipulated by the Military Industrial Complex which creates the historical illusion that military is the way to respond to these intentional acts. Already people are wanting to increase our presence in the Middle East.....who was behind this terror? The obvious response is ISIS. However, eight individuals could have been recruited by shadow organizations who are utilizing the fervor of ISIS to accomplish other nation state goals. Remember it was the Saudis who funded ISIS and Al Queda........and it is the Saudis who have deep ties with Israel and the Military Industrial Complex. If all you have to do is kill 200 people to profit a trillion dollars and have your nation states protected by American kids, it is important to remain strong, calm and rational. We need to deal with these folks as criminals, and if not, please explain how you kill an idea germinated basically from our wrongful invasion of Iraq?
