(8,175 posts)the day before the Paris attacks. Where are the photos...where is the outrage? Only 43 dead and 240 wounded...not bad enough?
It's like it only counts if it happens in a 1st world country.
There have been 20 terror attacks just this month...more than one a day already.

(8,175 posts)Why not use intelligence to capture these people instead of blindly blowing them up? Maybe that's too dangerous for us, but then why aren't we working with the countries where the terrorists are harbored, and let them go in and capture them?
I don't know what the answer is, but killing innocent people in the name of self-defense does not work for me.
