lol i think you're joking, but i think it's pretty reasonable to blame the people who opened up a whole county for these clowns to organise their mass murder in.

I feel like a lot of this could have been prevented if RM would have voted correctly in the last election.

As far as blame goes, I'm running with "guy who drove the truck".

The French governments response to yesterdays attack :shake:

Prime Minister Manuel Valls “Times have changed and France is going to have to live with terrorism,” he said in the wake of Thursday’s attack.

Sen. Nathalie Goulet, head of the Foreign Affairs and Security Committee: “The question is, are we able to prevent it? And my answer would be, unfortunately no.”

The Iraq war was a disastetous shitstorm for humanity, no doubt. And for sure ISIL is inspiring to some people, but these are people who were already primed to do the horror that will be demanded of them, and it's silly to simplfy their motivations into cause and effect there. Given that nearly every active war zone on Earth involves some group of Islamic extremists versus someone else, and they aren't all proxy wars between the Saudis and Iran, are you willing to consider that maybe it can't all be dumbed to " Bush's fault"?

Thing is, though, they may not be incorrect, even if it's a political blunder to say it.

Well, it's sounding more and more like the coup was staged as a way to make Erdogan look like a victim defending peace and simultaneously crush dissent against his Islamist government.

Bad as in coverage? The BBC reported that police had requested no images/broadcast of ongoing operations, so that might be why.
