Next thing you know, a new and even more totally total mass surveillance law is passed. (Obviously, attacks will continue to happen from time to time.)

What this means is that France surveillance and intelligence already failed.

With the amount of Syrian/Afghan refugees flooding into Europe right now and Europes involvement in those wars, I imagine this sort of thing is going to be on the rise.

Their involvement in "those wars" being that they had to flee them?

A disaster. Obviously don't know yet who is responsible, but I don't understand why France is being targeted in this way. They are hardly terrorist enemy number one.

France has a huge body of dis-enfranchised easily radicalized youths. This has already led to many confrontations with the rest of the French and has resulted in riots, bombings and shootings. It's a real problem because for a long time politicians were somewhat in denial that this could become a problem and now that it has emerged it is very hard to change things for the better because of the numbers of people involved. This is complex stuff and there are no easy solutions, if any.

We need to ask the question what kind of life we want for those who do live.
