It's sad to see that all the worry over the attacks hitting home has become so true and has happened 3 times in the last month or so. I mean, I was sure something was going to happen, but 3 times in a few weeks?? It's insane, it really is.
And trying to figure something out that everyone will agree on is pretty much impossible. Although I suppose most people won't disagree on the fact that the people known to the police and who are on the watch list should be deported. But then I guess that opens a can of worms if they have young children etc...
It's all so complicated and heart breaking.

As I remember it the feeling was that this whipping up into a frenzy was to facilitate further bombing campaigns, but ask yourself would you rather be calm and well resourced or terrified and underfunded?
That was the choice, it still is.
