Priority number one should be to find those responsible and put them on trial. The second priority (connected to the first one – the organizers are probably still posing some danger) should be excellent police work aimed at preventing attacks like this in the future (with the knowledge that absolute security will be impossible and as such any kind of anything goes surveillance would be a bad idea).
Looking at the wider context ending the conflict in Syria and Iraq should also be a goal, obviously, but that is not as simple as war, certainly not. That's and always will be a delicate operation, full of pitfalls and with no easy victories. I don't think you will be able to achieve anything there if you just view it as a war against Daesh.
- rdancer 11y ago> I'm really struggling to see what's wrong with that We've been bombing ISIS for some time. When they bomb us back, we post tricoloras on Facebook, in a solidarity with France, a target of this "hyenous", "unprovoked", act of "terrorism". The wilful inability to see the Paris attacks as a direct response to our military operation that is literally on the news at the same time, that's what is wrong with that. I hope cooler heads will prevail, and the response you outline will be implemented. If we fail to see what's really going on, the response will be something crazy, and potentially very harmful.
