What comes around, goes around.

You reap what you sow, France!
You're blaming the people of France....I assume you blamed the people of the U.S. for 9/11.

They did not deserve this!

You can't play a chess game with Muslim ideology and politics. America needs to start dropping nukes on them like it's going out of style.

One of the most aggressive countries in the 20th century was pre-WW2 Japan. Once we dropped a couple nukes on them, they did a 180 on their attitude towards the West and became our pets. The same can happen to these Muslim scumbags who keep getting emboldened with every jihadist attack on a Western country. We can melt their people into glass and then they will be willing to bark and roll over like obedient lap dogs.
Don't be ridiculous

I have listened to Pat Condell for years. I don't agree with everything he says, but most.

Terrible. RIP.

There is a lesson in this for America, though. This is part of why people in THIS country often times choose to be armed. The police didn't arrive in time to save them. Firearms being illegal in France didn't save them. They may not have saved themselves by shooting back...but the odds sure woulda been better! Many mass shootings have been averted and/or cut short because of some civilian carrying a weapon. I wish our brothers and sisters across the pond had had some sort of recourse.

What risible rubbish, it was largely a lack of foresight, kowtowing to vested interests, and ignorance, that led to the Iraq fiasco (and bombing there was). The US flew many millions of dollars distributing it to any charlatan who wasn't Saddam. Radical Islam has been the principal beneficiary of Iraq (along with China, Iran, and perhaps Israel - while the US was hemorrhaging blood and money China was out in the world doing business, forging relationships). One of the Parisian terrorists today had apparently been involved in recruiting fighters to Al-Qaeda in Iraq. Why? Because before the fall of Saddam (note - a secular-ist) that would have been basically impossible. You can be gung ho as you like, making ridiculous and childish statements but stumbling around like some giant fool - isn't going to do it.
The war against radical Islam is asymmetrical, (along with the requisite weaponry) it demands resourcefulness, intelligence, misinformation, agents on the ground, special ops. and yes, the opposite of bloody cluelessness.

How dare you? If not for the French we wouldn't have won our independence. 25 percent of the French population was killed in the war, and it's a grave insult for you to suggest that there was no resistance. Look up the village of Oradour sur Glane and see what the Germans did to the French! Thousands and thousands of French people lost their lives by smuggling Jews and others to safety. The Germans had more people, money and technology. Maybe you shouldn't take such an aggressive frat boy version of history as the truth!

If the so-called "religion of peace" ever got to be the majority in the United States, i believe most of us non-Muslims would be in a world of trouble.

I heard on the radio today that in 1970 there were 700,000 Muslims in the United States. Today there are 9 million.
