The End of the "Age of Terrorism"

[Blue3]

The End of Terrorism... or at least the End of the "Age of Terrorism"...

when and how will it happen?



Terrorist attacks have always happened, in one form or another. But they didn't really start to define the world we live in until September 11th, 2001. The United States, Russia, the Middle East, India, Africa, Europe... so much of the world has faced major terrorist attacks since then, and it's become the focus of the foreign and national security policies for most of the world.

After today's Friday the 13th terrorist attack in the heart of Paris... I just begin to wonder... how and when will this finally end?

It's obvious the multi trillion dollar "war on terror" didn't make us any safer.

Sadly, never.  There will always be people willing to blow sh**t up to get attention for their stupid god or their stupid political goals.

[Bunwahaha [still dunno why, but well, so be it]]

Depends if you mean 'the terrorism' or our f**king good companion now 'the Islamist terrorism'.

Hmm, I can mainly speak about France personally.

It's crazy because during the day I was about opening a thread of how pitiful have been all the attempts since Charlie, while that in the same time, and crazy too, but the poll had been published yesterday too, about the fact that 'terrorism' became the 2nd biggest concern for French, with a 518% increase within one year.

And then, it suddenly took a new turn...

But both aspects are important, the totally amateurs pitiful self attempts, and now those apparently bloody pros. I remember infos from yesterday evening about several witnessings saying that the commando looked like quite young.

And it seems to put us in a permanent unrest state.

And, in this country, thanks to all those glorious bloody years of hypocrite racism and contempt toward several generations of one part of 'our population', seems we have a good 'possible available stock'.

And that even goes beyond the classical 'young frustrated Muslim guy from rough district', you have the classical French middle (upper or lower) class that also joins now with that new shade of 'Jihadism', France also has it's 'Jihadi John', Maxime something, a good old Normand white young guy...

Maybe the totally unstructured and senseless without any clear perspectives things that became our 'civilizations' have something to do with that?

To answer the question in a more clear way, at least in this country, the potentiality of a long enough rest with more or less big intensity seems...big...so far.

And when it comes to the potentiality of something like the IS to spread and last, hmm, better you don't ask me...

In any case, we might have a few things to shrink in our countries, the pitiful stuff is that stuff like that helps everything but to think...

Damnit, you didn't SMILE when you gave them free education, healthcare, and subsidized housing. Of course a lot of them are going to want to kill you.

This is a very American perspective. Major terrorist attacks, sometimes ones that seemed to have no other purpose than killing as many people as possible, were not uncommon in the West long before 9/11.
