My thoughts go with the people of france and to those who lost their lives prior to the attacks that started with the russian plane being bombed killing at least 200 ppl.
Now I didn't know what was happening until my dad told me of what was happening after Friday night so I followed it online to see what was going on. You know, I was in Paris about four years ago and I gotta admit, I loved it there because the ppl were so nice. Now, I don't speak fluently in french but a lot of my family members do.
About terrorism itself...it's sad that we live in a world where the world is blinded by hate and racism and propaganda. The way I look at it with whats been going on today, it's hard to believe anything anymore.
I find that the lies outweighs the truth but again, you'll always going to find that there are those who are going to try to cover up both sides. Like for example, I read that some ppl believe that Obama is a traitor to America...because he has no interest in fighting the war on terrorism for America. And after reading so many comments on FB the other night, I was shocked. And it left me feeling like "Is this true?" To me, I dunno what to believe anymore.
Thing is, I don't hate anyone...but to see those people bash the people who are trying to get away from their own country so they can get on with their lives is just terrible. I agree with what a lot are saying about the refugees...only accept children, women and the elderly. Cause of right now, no matter where you are, where you live, no one is safe...this planet isn't a safe haven anymore. It never was to begin with. Now every country is faced with having to triple their security along their borders...and the reason i say this, is because if one or two or more of ISIS slip passes security, you know what's going to happen. All hell is going to break loose...again! It's going to cause so much of a headache to those who are against bringing in more refugees.
I am glad there are a lot of countries who are helping those people who were left behind in Iraq and Syria and other places in the middle-east. It is time that those people who do not like seeing what is happening to their own country stand up and fight their own battle against terrorism. I think for those who have a distaste for muslims living among us have no right to treat those any different who are trying to get away from what is happening in their country. I don't blame them. But still I think that those who fled from their country should have stayed and fought for their rights. Other countries could still provide the training and aid but be left out of the fight itself. The people of Middle-east should be the ones fighting back because it's their fight! Their war! Their country! Not the USA's fight, not Canada's, not Russia's, not France's! No other country should remotely be involved in this war except guide them, train them and provide aid when they need it. Why they did not think of this before? Well, I dunno...Perhaps too much was going on way before the attacks of 9/11 happened that the world just wasn't ready to know what was going to hit them.
Now it's too late...With what's happened thus far now, it's gotten the entire world in an uproar and with France taking action and saying "This was an act of War" hey, it's neither right or wrong. Many countries don't take terrorism to light and seeing those countries like France and Russia taking a stand is good.
I feel I ranted too long...so forgive me. I come from Canada. So...just my thoughts.
