ISIS & Heavy Metal In Paris: Motive And Opportunity

Heavy metal in Paris.Eagles Of Death Metal were playing in Paris at the Bataclan Hall to a sold out audience.Enter ISIS. In less than an hour over 300 were dead or wounded.Motive? Heavy metal music by itself could of been the reason. But ISIS claims the attack was revenge for French bombing in Syria.Turnabout is fair play.Opportunity? France is most liberal country in European Union.Consequently their borders and policies are open to all.Rethink both those policies.France didn't call in an airstrike on Bataclan like they might of done in Aleppo or Homs, Syria.Too much expensive real estate and collateral death possibilities in downtown Paris.So what will be the French response? More bombing in Syria? What's left to bomb? It's almost an asteroid now.Last count estimated six to eight ISIS operatives carried off this coup. Probably the whole enterprise cost couple of thousand dollars and the lives of 6-8 throw away people.France's immediate losses ramp into the millions on top of years of peace keeping/bombing runs in Middle East.You do the math.It wont work as a business nor a winning war strategy.ISIS in Middle East has short inexpensive logistics. They are fighting in their homelands.Extermination by the West?We can't kill that fast nor that expansively.We in U.S. experienced 9/11? Did we learn?No.

Paris, Al Qaeda, Yemen And World War I

The horror in Paris from a Yemen-directed terrorist act sends shock waves and shivers. Rag headed sand dwellers paralyze a nuclear powered France.Not with sophisticated strategic weapons but with a couple of rifles and limitless reckless abandon for the terrorists own safety. Fight a person who has nothing to lose. This is the pay back. Losses by France ? Immeasurable. Losses by Al-Qaeda directed Yemen operatives? Two throw away people.You think World War I was senseless? This is worse. The European soldiers in WW I wanted to go home. Yet there were 24 million in casualties.Now try to fight an enemy who has only a next world home.How many must you kill of that breed before peace. You may lose count. If you are still alive to count.What should we do. Get out of the middle east and stop immigration from that middle east.Its simple. There's no money it. But it will be better.
