Paris – Cowardly Attacks

Yesterday I watched on the news about the terror attacks in Paris. I have thought of little else. I find I have so many thoughts and emotions perhaps documenting them may help me sort them out.

The people who perpetrated these acts knew they were going to die on suicide missions. These fools think themselves as warriors for mighty cause. They are not. The press speculated that they had military training. That does not make them warriors! If they had training, they used it to mercilessly kill unarmed, unaware and innocent people; they are not warriors. These perpetrators have believed lies! There is no war that warriors wage that includes these cowardly acts. All I can say is fools of fools fools!

Their handlers and enablers are sitting back chuckling and high-fiving each other over all the press these acts are providing. They believe it furthers their cause and it probably does resonate within a certain group of disaffected slightly mad people. Again these handlers and instigators are not warriors.
ISIL and Al Qaeda are also organizations that attack military targets. While I disagree with their methods and goals in this capacity they are combatants in war. Their terror activities are beyond reprehensible and are disgusting. They bring shame upon the entire Arab and Islamic world.

I’m also somewhat distressed by the way the media is covering this. I understand the need to report it but this non-ending coverage is just what the terrorists want. They want to see the fear. They want to see the stadium emptied in the soccer game stopped. I feel it is just too much coverage that may spur further terrorist attempts.

The media keeps mentioning that they were sophisticated attacks and coordinated. One official corrected them and said that they were complicated but not sophisticated. They were neither complicated nor sophisticated. They were thugs with military equipment shooting those totally unable to defend themselves in any way. I am completely disabled. Their “victory” is the equivalent of coming into my home and attacking me when I cannot defend myself in the slightest. There is no glory in these acts. If they think there is they are ABSOLUTELY WRONG on all counts!
