F.B.I. Said to Find It Could Not Have Averted Boston Attack

- mckennr 13y agoWhat does that mean?
- mindslight 13y agoActually, eliminating all terror attacks is pretty straightforward - stop the endless sensationalist reporting that turns audience fear into the main event.
- cfevhbwh 13y agoThere's an even better way to stop terror attacks: Stop bombing innocent countries.
- mc32 13y agoThat didn't stop ETA, or the IRA, or the people who used to bomb Paris. China does not bomb the Uighur areas. The Indian gov't does not go about 'bombing' minorities. None of the target counties 'bombed' the perps. Now, the perps might have felt 'oppressed' or had some outstanding issues with said target govt's. But it's not as simple as 'don't bomb'. So it's not that simple.
