The only answer is military intervention on the ground, the risk of more organised attacks is too high to ignore it, popular opinion be damned, the only way is to go on the offensive. There are always downsides, but if military intervention is done right and a country secured, refugee numbers should go down as people choose to return home, when it's safe. Airstrikes are useless, they don't work on their own, they need ground support. The refugee numbers wouldn't lessen that much. A country recovering from a war like that isn't the best economic prospect, they'd stay in Europe because hey, the economy is better and so is the welfare.
An offensive could obviously work, but it's had a history of not working when dealing with this kind of thing.

For some reason I don't really care about the attack. Sure it's sad people died and my condolences go out to the friends and family of those it affected, but so much more s*** happens in other countries and no one really bats an eye like this unless it's a western country. Now people on social media are having a huff about it. Bloody western media I'm in the same position I think. I'm doing my dissertation on military intervention so I'm quite aware of the conflicts going on in the world and especially the suffering and deaths happening right now and in the recent past. I mean, this event is horrible but this is weekly s*** in some places. It's really depressing how little people care, which is what makes it so easy for governments to be so apathetic (well, when the violence isn't in a western country).
I mean, the Syrian government has been attacking civilians indiscriminately, committing atrocities and using weaponry that is banned by international humanitarian law. What has the UN Security Council, which is tasked with maintaining international peace and security and has twice affirmed its responsibility to protect civilians in these situations done? f*** all, even though this conflict is in its 4th year. All because international politics takes precedence over moral concerns. It's absolutely disgraceful.

If they're refugees it means that this kind of thing is what they are fleeing from. They're not fleeing from tolerant democratic secular peaceful governments.

It says there might be up to 153 dead. It's so weird something like this could happen in such a civilized city, but it can. - Quote:

It was proven actually, as many eye witness reports say they were screaming things about Syria and ISIS as it happened. Maybe watch the news.
You're pretty blind. 1) Reports aren't confirmations. And 2) Islam, Christianity, Judaism, all have main themes of peace. Radicals are not representations of the whole. In fact I'd argue 85% of normal Christians don't truly follow Christianity either. But either way, I can go to France and yell "FOR AMERICA" and shoot people. It doesn't mean America wants to destroy France.
You're apparently not very good at reading. I'm sorry about that. I'll repost my last post: Seriously, when are we going to stop calling this festering cesspool of evil and malice disgrace of a religion "peaceful"? When is everyone going to stop being such a nancy and stop being so damned offended by EVERYTHING and stand up for yourself and your freedom of speech? I cannot stand this anymore. 2015 truly is the year everyone was offended by everything. The world is afraid to offend Islam and tell it like it truly is: a group of evil, evil people. "But Sectum, if you talk to Western Muslims,..." Yeah, Western Muslims aren't real Muslims, sorry. I am an Apologetic, I study religions. It's kind of my thing. Read the Quran. I have. It gives detailed descriptions on how to murder those Muslims who don't adhere to the strict values of the Quran and Shariah Law. It says to kill them. Yes, kill Muslims. It also says to kill anyone who doesn't believe, except Christians, who can be offered a taxation for as long as they live, or as long as they live without converting to Islam. Anyone else? Kill them. Yeah, it's really a religion of "peace". Blunt fact: Western Muslims who condemn people like ISIS for doing what they do, simply aren't real Muslims. They're what Mohammed would call an infidel as well. "But Sectum, I read in the Quran not to kill anyone..." Yeah, sorry, the Quran has a law that states that anything written after something previously written in the Quran supersedes it, therefore if Verse 14 says don't kill, and verse 18 says kill them all, verse 18 is law. And guess what? That's actually exactly what the Quran does. It gets progressively more violent in nature the further you delve into it. Too bad that law exist. So no, it is not a religion of "peace" at all. Islam, as a religion, follows the code of their holy book, much like Christianity follows the Bible. IF A MUSLIM DOESN'T FOLLOW THE QURAN, THEY ARE NOT A TRUE MUSLIM, AND SHOULD BE KILLED AS STATED BY THE QURAN. Do you want me to bold, italicize, and strike through my text? Would you get it then? Islam is not a peaceful religion. Peaceful Islamist are backsliders, those not following the faith. True Islam = violent. It's quite simple. Get your head out of your a*** and open your eyes. Meh,

ISIS wants to use such incidents to use idiotic right wingers to marginalize Muslims in the West. That way they'll gain more recruits and destroy some "gray area". All of this has been confirmed through WikiLeaks documents.

Ascertaining motivation is complex, but most of the migrants are refugees, fleeing war and persecution in countries such as Syria, Afghanistan and Eritrea: according to UNHCR data, as of November 2015, 85% of Mediterranean Sea arrivals come from the world's top ten refugee-producing countries (52% from Syria, 19% from Afghanistan, 6% from Iraq, 5% from Eritrea, 2% from Somalia and 1% from Sudan). The top ten nationalities of Mediterranean Sea arrivals also include Nigeria (2%), Pakistan (2%), Gambia (1%) and Mali (1%).
Vast majority are genuine refugees fleeing war and persecution. What, they should stop at Athens? So Greece, a country already in a huge financial mess, should bare the burden of refugees? Not exactly a good plan.
Besides, most of the economic migrants come from places like the Balkans, West Africa and South Asia, but that's not the nationalities most people are complaining about.

The migrants are more likely to be people traffickers and arms dealers rather than terrorists. I was actually reading about someone the other day who was going to join Isis but changed his mind. He was a British citizen and so were all of his friends who joined. Like I've said before, they aren't the immigrants, they are nationals.

Its not like germany or England has som many bonus resources to feed the migrant for FREE ... I mean its not like they d pay taxes or something

It is unfortunate that this would happen. But that's life in 2015 I suppose.

Because previous invasions didn't really help people after and forced a political system upon a country that it wasn't really compatible with, governments kept collapsing. Public opinion in the west was against staying in these countries, it's an expensive operation but really, a country needs help rebuilding after war.

Then what are you suggesting in terms of implemented governments?

From what i've read, French authorties were informed of a possible terroist attack for months right?
In any case, it's really sad to see what transpired. I just hope people don't turn to hate because of things like these.
