Maybe if we give them jobs, a good education, or let them govern themselves they will become more civilized. [sarcasm intended]. Some people believe this http://www.nydailynews.com/opi...orse-article-1.3185752

Committed by the "brown people" that progs cherish  and want to bring here by the millions. In other words, these jerks want to endanger our people in order to pick up a few votes. That is how depraved and anti-American these people are.

Terrorism is a tactic of the desperate. Isis is losing its Caliphate and becoming increasingly isolated. These suicide bombers cost nothing and they get the headlines. The attack succeeds when the knee jerk reaction is to tar all muslims with the same brush, that of the religion of hate, or radical islamist terrorist. UK made a point of showing Muslim doctors working on the injured and reminded everyone that Manchester is actually 9% muslim. They underscore what Tpap and obnox and cranky cannot accept, that you will not use this specific example to generalize terror murder to all members of a faith.

It always gets worse before it gets better

Refusing to identify the problem and take action will drag this on forever

sure let make them think it doesn't faze us, they will grow tired of the tactic and maybe start showering us with love.

This attack doesn't change who these people are, what they want or why.
They will never get tired of the tactic. It will get worse the more they lose.

They want these attacks to change us, they only win when we let them.

what is your long game?



I'd say letting terror become part of everyday life is letting them win

The root of it all is Israel, need to find a path to real peace & justice there.
Also need to keep helping the Iraqis beat ISIL.

Tell me how you would stop it.

Those are very different places than America. Little Immigrant history nor promise.
But I have no problem with better screening of people coming in. We are already pretty good at it.

Won't solve the problem though, most of the worst acts are from natives or people already here. I think the guy that did this one was British.

Muslim doctors? What does that prove? That some Muslims do what they are paid to do. Hate to tell you, but that's not meaningful in any sense. What is meaningful is that a Muslim blasted the hell our of innocents and American progs want to bring that over here as soon as possible.
