Strategic bombings are obviously not helping..time for some good old fashioned boots on the ground ass kicking
And which of the countries would you begin with and what manpower is required? Obviously a bigger task than you suggest...

We need to ban trucks or atleast make sure they're registered. Australia banned trucks 20 years ago and noone there has driven into a crowd since. We need comprehensive truck cruise controls, our current cruise controls aren't working.

Yes I just said this in my post. If this happened in the US, this jerk would be on CNN calling for a ban on trucks.

When will people realize that attacks like these are nothing but recruiting drives??
The people organizing them WANT a blanket reaction of hatred towards Muslims because it is the best way they can draw otherwise peaceful Muslims into their twisted cause.

Bono is very friendly.
Ya gotta be pretty sick when one of your group does something like this and you get mad at the blow back.
Right?

Honestly, if it was up to me, I 'd say the hell with political correctness.
I don't care. I don't care if i hurt someone's feelings in order to keep everyone safe. It's easy to write in front of your PC in your room how wrong it is to label a whole group as terrorists or whatever else they say. I don't care.
How many more innocent people need to get killed in order for us to get our heads out of our...
Unfortunately, more attacks will happen...

Any Muslim with half a brain does not have anything to do with ISIS or any other "evil group".
No groups have claimed responsibility for the attack on Thursday, but the French president, François Hollande, said it was “terrorist in nature” and would be met by a show of “real force and military action in Syria and Iraq”.

Come now, I do think you have to acknowledge the serious truck problem we face. Don't bury your head in the sand. This problem just emphasises that we need self driving trucks and cars and a smart system for the govt to control speeds and where/when we drive.

It bothers me when this sort of attack is used to justify increased military action on a wider stage. It makes one wonder if the event in Nice was more than it seems on the surface.

This reminds me of the Nazi approach to reprisals for various things, like the assassination of Heydrich, for example. Wipe out a completely innocent village. Keep in mind that the driver was not even Syrian or Iraqi. Hollande seems even more perverse than the Nazis from that point of view. His counter murders have no connection to the crime he wants to avenge.
