If ISIS is involved in France, attacking Syria or Iraq is not going to reduce the chances of these types of attacks.

When I despair, I remember that all through history the way of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it--always. Gandhi

I think it would actually look good on JT to backtrack. And he is probably in discussions as we speak.

I hope so.

I think JT should say 'fu....k it. We're going in. Who's with me?'

Or

'Let's roll'

But seriously, we can't stand by and just 'provide training'. Enough is enough.

We would be attacking ISIS wouldn't we?

So what? They'll still be able to contact impressionable kids to build bombs in their homes.

We need to learn from our mistakes and not keep making them. What did the adventure in Afghanistan bring? Did it end terrorism?

If anything, our presence in those countries will only fuel the fire and increase the chances of more attacks.

As I said, I suspect ISiS. And since ISIS is seen to be responsible for the latest attacks, shouldn't we do more to stop them? We have a responsibility to join the battle to fight terrorism.

To be honest, I could also see it being a European nationalist attack, but more likely ISIS.

I'm even surprised at myself for suggesting we join the fight in a more active role but really, do we have a choice?

Of course we have a choice. Let Russia deal with it. All the west does is army terrorists because they are more interesting in overthrowing Assad. Worst case, it spills over into Saudi Arabia and then the Saudi's have to deal with it (which would be a win-win since there would be less Islamists to attack us later).

And he is probably in discussions as we speak.

I doubt that. He's not going to backtrack on his poorly thought out policies. Too busy being 'shocked' and giving us 'Sunny Ways'.

Btw, according to our new minister of national defense, we don't need to fear ISIS.

Trudeau can whip out his warm blankets and refugee quotas...maybe appoint a Minister of Blankets.

Instead, he will wrap himself up with his Winner blanket or his Dont-Cry-NeoCon blanket.

If ISIS can be wiped out in Syria that will cause a huge dent in their recruitment.

JT would look like a mook going to the G20 and be all supportive of France and then take our ball and go home.

He's in the big leagues now and has to learn that his decisions have consequences that are outside his control. A very steep learning curve.

Maybe....Canada's new prime minister is a major propaganda win for ISIS. Bombing terrorists is just so wrong !

They will not be wiped out. Just like Taliban and Al Qaeda were not wiped out.

That's besides the point. What happened in Paris, if ISIS was behind it, could have been done with or without ISIS being in Syria/Iraq. All they need to recruit is the internet and fuel to anger people.

We need to get the f*ck out of the Middle East and Africa.

It'll just make a hole for another mole for you to whack, just like the hole that ISIS popped up from.

A government without public oversight is like a nuclear plant without lead shielding.

What about the next IS? You got a plan for that?

So we just stand by?

All these "attacks " are just like the other wars the world has seen. We attack them and they attack us, its just a different style of war and the European countries are more open to those attacks. I really can't see how all this is going to end unless someone throws a nuke in the ME, and I hope it doesn't come to that.

You're angry and emotional. Instead, you should be logical. You should look at what these bombings have accomplished. They will only increase the chances of creating more hostility towards the West.
