In chaotic times you can usually find blowback. Look for people in Muslim dress to start getting bushwhacked in Europe.

Have considered and rejected several posts.

I feel for the victims, and their families.

It will be interesting to see the French response. If there's one thing they are always willing to do, it's act in their own perceived best interests. The problem is, they're not team players. They've always been willing to sell out the rest of western civilization if they thought that would best serve their interests.

So what they do now is.... important.

Have seen a Tweeted report of Muslims in Paris walking around smiling.

You could make the same statement about the Russians. If it turns out this was an ISIS inspired operation, and if ISIS was behind the downing of the airliner in the Sinai.... the "Caliphate" could be in for very interesting times.

Just ask the Lebanese who kidnapped a Russian diplomat. If you can find any of them. IIRC, it took almost four days for the diplomat to be returned unharmed, except for a rumpled suit.

The gloves are off. France has declared martial law as of a few minutes ago.
