The world is not safe anymore. Anyone with no humanity and a gun can kill dozens as he chooses. France is going to become a different nation after today, there will be zero toleration and their military will come out of hiding.

This is a good example of why America takes the proactive measures it does because if you take a mild approach to terrorism then the terrorists take full advantage. Act before being acted upon.

The death toll from these attacks rose to 150. Besides this being terrible for the country I'm concerned that those who are living hoestly as Muslims or Arabs are going to pay a heavy price. During these times people do a lot of racial profiling.

One of the terrorists in Friday's Paris attacks has been identified as a 30-year-old French national from a Paris suburb, Paris prosecutor Francois Molins said. The individual had a criminal history, and was identified as having been radicalized in 2010 but had never been accused of terrorism, he said.
The prosecutor said there were likely three teams of terrorists involved in the attacks. Seven terrorists were killed, he said.
Belgian authorities have detained three people; one is believed to have hired vehicles used in the attacks.
Molins said the number of people killed stands at 129 with 352 people injured -- at least 99 seriously.
Details about the victims are beginning to come in. An American student from California State University, Long Beach was among those killed. Nohemi Gonzalez, 20, was a junior studying design, according to a statement the university sent to CNN.
The Belgian Foreign Ministry has said at least two Belgians were among the dead. Ref. CNN
In one of the attacks they did it like a drive by shooting starting first with a restaurant a diner and what looked like an outside eating area somewhere in Paris. This is what some of the eye witnesses said in the news. This was definitely to instill terror and to make the French people not want to come outside again. Terrible for the French people, I hope they can get over this soon and return back to normal.

When I learned about the coordinated attack the first thing that sprung in my mind was where was the intelligence? They had something like this happen before just not on as big a scale, surely they would have put things in place for it by now.
