IOW, law enforcement. . .NOT the military.

What happened in Paris (and in Beirut and Baghdad) was a CRIME.
NOT an "act of war"

Calling these crimes "acts of war" only lends dignity and legitimacy to the perpetrators. They deserve neither.

Leave the military out of it. It's not their job and they're not trained for that shit anyway.
Bush & Co. didn't listen and didn't learn. The rest is history.
