We have to be scarier than the terrorists. That's the only thing that will stop them.
We need to terrorize them.
As I reported, the news coming out about the attacks, and casualty numbers in particular, is confusing and often conflicted. Earlier the police prefecture said four people had died in the course of the retaking of the Bataclan concert hall from hostage-takers; many media took that to mean police or security officers.
It now appears the four might be a reference to the attackers: three of whom, according to AFP, reportedly detonated explosive suicide belts.

How do we destroy them while limiting innocent causalities?

We'll see what happens when a frustrated mourners mows over a group of them on their way home from a funeral. Wait. Individuals will act once a critical mass is reached. Everyone and every culture has its breaking point. We've seen theirs.

I disagree completely.
I wager the numbers rise exponentially higher now that they will find no border willing or able to accept them (for a while).
This upside down world has flipped, what was once right is wrong and so forth.
Seems the crazier it sounds the closer to reality.
The Paris police prefect has now confirmed that the attackers at the Bataclan rock venue blew themselves up with suicide belts as police closed in, killing four.
He said the gunmen first sprayed cafes outside the venue with machine gunfire, then went inside the concert hall and killed more before the assault by security forces.
The prefect, Michel Cadot, said one set of attackers was at the Stade de France, and at nearly the same time the second group attacked within the city.
Cadot said all the attackers are believed dead, although authorities are hunting for any possible accomplices.

Doesn't really address how, again we are not talking a uniformed army.
We have been bombing them, for me that is all we can do unless we want to get involved in another Iraq.

Oh, people who were at the concert saying they weren't searched at all when they went in. No metal detectors, nothing.
That will change tomorrow no doubt.

That will change tomorrow no doubt. They are even closing the grocery stores tomorrow, schools everything. For "caution and respect".

And that seems to be where this is headed,tighter controls,tighter security soon you will be searched everywhere you go...and it is a great plan to get people to take onboard some sort of biometric identifier
