No one is making excuses for the terrorists. I'm just saying that some retaliation should have been expected. Agreed, but should we now just expect and accept mass murders?

Was it worth it considering the loss of life with two policemen dead? In what way was it worth it? What's the payoff? Will this bring more freedom of speech anytime soon? I'll bet there's plenty of political correctness in France. Will this change now?

I truly hope that radical extremism is given the top priority in all western societies as the very foundation of our freedoms are being challenged with feckless reprisal.
