The french are in the battle against terrorists - actual they are one of the most active "players" - the same with Germany. Their opposition was only about the Iraq war, not about dealing with terror. Ex. both of them have trops in Afghanistan.
France and Germany are very likely targets due to their international involvement, and because they got VERY large islamists communities inside their own borders. Ex. 3 of the hijackers from 9/11 were students in Germany...
What is needed is a change in attitude, when dealing with terrorism:
1. We need to put terror into the right perspective, and not making it sound like the end of the world. Its just another thing that can kill us - just like driving our car, crossing the street, or getting food stuck in our throat.
2. Much more media focus on the victims instead of the terrorists. There is no crime without victims, and its a strong message that needs to be sent to the supporters of terrorism. Ex. since the terrorists in Iraq have started targeting civilians, then their "approval ratings" have dropped in muslim countries.
3. Give the people in the middle east/asia more control (ex. thru democracy), so in time they will stop playing the roles of "victims". The islamists have been getting alot of goodwill from the people, because they confirm that the people are "victims" - its like 2 drunks telling each other sad stories to get sympathy. We need to sober one of them, so we can stop the endless cycle.
4. A "shoot to kill" policy, a "we retaliate" policy, and a "who gives a fuck about their reason" policy. These 3 policies would make the "wimpy" character in the west change - fuck, its only within the last 50 years that we have changed into "soft little scared humans" - its time we admit that its not the way to survive on earth, and return to our real human natur...
