There have been "attacks" for the past 3 days in different countries.

Or retaliation for the Jihadi John US drone attack?
I am worried there will be more to come.....

I think it was pre planned because of the coordination. The gunmen who shot the diners at the restaurant then moved onto the concert venue.

what is a bit worrisome is that even all the surveillance didn't pick up any chatter about this, which is obviously a pretty large, coordinated attack that had to be planned for awhile.

That is what I think too.
But, I guess they could be well trained to be ready at a moments notice too. Just like we are.
I am worried about an attack in USA ... even though it is said they have no alerts for us right now.

Sometimes I despair about where we are going and where our 'humanity' has gone. How do we turn things around without meeting violence with violence? Where does that lead us?Isn't that what terrorist want - more violence to blame on others?
I feel that the world is at a loss for having leaders with new visions of how to deal with such events. Violence breeds violence. Why? It has become a cycle of violence. What will be the end result? What are we leaving to future generations? If we keeping doing what we have been doing will there even be future generations? New thinking is sorely needed that goes beyond our traditional modes of response.
Call me naive and crazy.... but really where does it end?

Great questions with no easy answers, unfortunately. I often wonder the same things myself. Talking doesn't work with these people. Retaliation in a violent way is what they want. So then what?

Blessings to the people of France.
I spoke with my 80 something friend in Paris 3 days ago. She is one fiesty woman, and would be among the first to storm the barricades.
Allons enfants de la patrie!
