"If it's only the West, more problems will arise. A collective, including the Arab States may rid of us of them. Another group will raise their ugly head. Peace will never be achieved, atrocities may be minimised." But as we've seen from Iraq and Afghanistan - war on these extremists has no end. | |||

"i think boots on the ground is the only way we can really hurt ISIS but i wouldnt wanna be the person making that call plus its what these scumbags want. this holy war they keep preaching about in regards to acts of terrorism. it wont make a difference. the threat will always be there now" Is there a greater recruiting tool for terrorism in Europe than having boots on the ground? It feels like France/West is in a lose-lose situation. | |||

"Op - The West is already at war with IS and other groups, and has been for quite some time now. Western boots are already on the ground as well as the more publicised air strikes. IS have been carrying out 'acts of war' for a long time now. This is more complex than just sending in more bombs and troops. " I meant an official declaration of war with full military engagement. | |||

Ah, so we just leave the door open to allow even more to come and go as they please - yes, that would work. Of course many are here and of course we should continue to do all we can to track them down and neutralise them, but it's insane to allow more to come. | |||

IS have not been Russia's main/only target. The Rebels that the UK and US are backing, training and supporting with special forces boots on the ground are. Russia supports Assad we are against Assad. IS are just an inconvenience in the mix. | |||

"The only time article 5 (an attack on one member state is an attack on all), has been invoked was after 911 when USA invoked it and that is why Afghanistan was a nato operation at first. Arguably France could invoke it, however, the enemy are not based purely in one state and are not state sponsored. " I'm not sure if my memory is correct but didn't France refuse to send in troops to Afghanistan,or some other place? | |||

"The terrorists are already here. Boots on the ground out there will only provoke more attacks here. The only way to deal with it is to throw all Muslims out of our countries. And send them where? Who cares. Pakistan, Syria, Afghanistan, middle of the Atlantic. " And here in lies the problem as to why so many potential recruits feel marginalised and become easy targets for potential radicalisation. So by your reckoning it's all Muslims that are the problem ? Is that your true belief or are you just spouting uneducated waffle to gain a reaction ? | |||

"Nobody is going to like this but the first thing is to cut off the refugee's coming into their respective countries. ( How many may be IS.) From what we understand IS is in control of some oil fields in Iraq. Bomb the oil fields and the refineries and drastically reduce their money flow. At least this would buy some time till a better plan is in place. " That sounds like using a sledgehammer to open a nut. There are more subtle ways to achieve similar aims than to gung-ho bomb expensive infrastructure. It's not money that is their driving force - it's fundamentalism. All bombing will do towards that is to make the fundamentalists even more convinced they are being attacked and are in the right and even more determined to prevail against the 'evil' non believers. | |||

"What has being white and British to do with anything,you do realise race and religion are two very different things.. " The person making the original quote is (presumably) white and British. We were simply attempting to a) show that people who are grouped together as if thinking with one thought can actually have very different points of _iew. and b) show some basic humanity Perhaps that was too subtle? | |||

" The whole situation has been made worse by an illegal war in Iraq which was a excuse to gain control of the oil in the first place thus further marginalising the west due to these amount of inocent casualties which was written off as collateral damage. More bombing of oil fields is hardly the answer , maybe the answer lies in dialogue and understanding rather than a never ending cycle of violence the bitterness from both sides is consuming rational thought. The Northern Ireland troubles were eased once dialogue and understanding took place why can this work in this situation ? All the talk of war and bombing only stokes the hatred and Is free propaganda for those who seek to impose their will upon others. | |||

IS is a sunni organisation.... they consider shia muslims to be dogs and beneath them.... which is why you in effect have the US and Iran on the same side.... | |||

"I spent 2 years in Afghan and 6 months in iraq I felt safer there than I do now in England! " Really? There was a period where there were terrorist attacks and bombs nearly every day in Iraq. I don't know how much that has changed. We've had nothing like that here. | |||

"If it's only the West, more problems will arise. A collective, including the Arab States may rid of us of them. Another group will raise their ugly head. Peace will never be achieved, atrocities may be minimised. But as we've seen from Iraq and Afghanistan - war on these extremists has no end. " Then rather than the title for your thread should you not have posed the question " Is PEACE a possibility?" I would like to think we do have the capacity to come together irrespective of race or faith & make a united stand against any group of people who do not believe in the sanctity & right to live in peace. My thoughts go to those innocent people who lost their lives last night in Paris, those left behind who have lost loved ones, & for those who believe we can find a way to live in peace rather than take the lives of others or call for a war which cannot be won. | |||

"There are two aspects to this. Protection and prevention. IMHO, we can't effectively provide the first without scrapping Schengen. Without secure borders, we're sitting ducks if we try to prosecute an armed solution to the second. The 'secure borders' argument is obsolete in my opinion. Potential terrorists are already here." I think you're probably correct but, whilst I wouldn't agree with scraping the Schengen agreements, I think there is argument for it's suspension while the current refugee crisis is on going. One of the attackers is believed to have been a Syrian who passed through Greece. | |||

"Having just come from Facebook where one could easily confuse the comment section from David Cameron or the Conservative's page for a Britain First page, reading what's been written here is a real relief! (BTW, I'm a strong Conservative but also a rational thinker!) I'd like to clear a few things up though, for the likes of a few people who seem to be very misguided on what exactly is going on. (Can't blame you, a lot of 'trust worthy' people aren't so trustworthy!) And please bare in mind while reading what I have to say, I do have a Masters degree related to Economics and International Relations (specifically on recent Middle Eastern affairs) from a top London uni specialising in Econ/Political Sciences so I know a little bit about what I'm on about! 1) We need other Islamic countries to join the fight (also to take on the burden of refuges) - Saudi Arabia is without a doubt providing financial support to IS. How can they provide refuge or join the fight when they are supporting the enemy?! 2) The aim of IS is to gather Muslim support. The best way to do this - make the west hate Islam!! Do you not see? The more they convince you to hate the regular Muslims, the more these people will feel alienated within their own countries. This is ultimately going to lead to the creation of more Jihadi John's - exactly what ISIS want! The best way to stop this is to understand that they aren't 'real' Muslims. Judging from what I've seen on Facebook, the general populations _iews on Islam really are changing and a lot of people are becoming intolerant. (You can understand why). I urge you, please, repost the original post on this thread onto Facebook pages or on Twitter etc. By promoting hatred for Islam we are only playing to what ISIS wants, we will alienate more people and it will lead to more intolerance within the Islamic community. Why am I so concerned? Despite not being a Muslim, I can easily be mistaken for one due to my appearance. It's frightening how much people's actions towards me (NOT the majority of people, but a growing minority) have become more negative. If this is what many Muslims are experiencing (and I have no doubt they are), I really sympathise with them but am more worried about the long term effects on what this growing divide could do to our society. If anyone's actually read this far, thanks a lot! I'd like to hear what you think of what I've said and if you have any questions/points you'd like to debate with me based of my educational past, I'd be very happy to do so! " They've just been discussing your point amongst many others on 5 live. | |||

"I think there's already boots on the ground monitoring watching and reporting, we can now fight a war from an armchair thousands of miles away so I believe tactical air strikes and drones is the way it will stay for now" No doubt, but by 'boots on ground' I meant more of a full fledged effort as we've seen fighting other groups over the best part of the last two decades rather than just ground troop involvement. The idea of drones is often overlooked by too many people as being some kind of saviour to modern warfare. I'm not sure on the exact details, but I can safely say that they are ridiculously expensive (In the range of $40000 per missile) and also kill A LOT of civilians including children and women. I'm not too sure what the answer is, evidently nobody is. We've kicked the hornets nest, now its either run away or carry on kicking until it's entirely destroyed. Either way, three things are for sure: 1) We're going to get stung 2) No matter what the outcome, there will always be more hornets ready to take their place 3) It was entirely our fault, we should never have kicked the damn thing in the first place! | |||

But a drone has endurance way beyond any manned fighter plus the cost of one being shot down is much less than a fighter jet. And it means there won't be a British pilot being burnt alive in a cage | |||

It's facts and I have a lot of friends who have served time in the Middle East, they live a very backward and primitive life over that part of the world, remove their infrastructure and weaponry, let their governments collapse in on themselves and for goodness sake let's move on from this treacherous chapter of Earths wellbeing. | |||

"old news. isis have flopped since Russias step up. all over bar the shouting. The security expert on the news has just said that Russian claims as to what they've done don't match the results. " Leave all to the female brigands of the Peshmerga who are pushing down from North Irak. So called fighters of this so called Caliphat are scared shitless of the "girls" as being killed by a females sends them to "Hell". Peshmerga have been fighting for centuries against Turks, Irak and Iran..help them update their weapons and problem is to 90% solved as it would result into a rest Syria, a rest Irak and a new state of Kurdistand where Christians, Turk Arabs, Jews, Assyrians and others could live in peace. This as Kurds repsecct other book religions and their women are highly educated and "rule the rooster". | |||

"History has shown us many dictators, idealoligies & regimes. Such as hitler, Stalin,pol pot, Idi Amin to name but a few. All eventually met their end in some form or another. Mostly at great cost in human life and suffering. To sum up with an alledged quote on hitlers demise from Bertolt Brecht (apologies for the seemingly crude female references but his terminology has a deeper meaning) - "Don't rejoice in his defeat you men, though the world stood up and stopped the b*stard the bitch that bore him is in heat again" End" The irony is that Stalin killed more Russians than Hitler killed Jewish people. But Stalin was on our side, so it got whitewashed somewhat | |||

"If war did break out would we round them all up like we did The Germans at the start of world war two and send them all to camps" You mean like Guantanamo? It may be called a prison, but people inside can still get the death sentence, and innocent people can still get sent there, but it's a bit more discriminate than the camps in ww2 | |||

"NO NOTHING LIKE THAT AT ALL THEY HAD CAMPS IN THE ISLE OF MAN LOOK BACK IN HISTORY INSTEAD OF TRYING TO TWIST THINGS" OK, my bad, I did not know about those camps, if I had, I would have referenced them instead | |||

"The period between September 1939 and May 1940 was known in Britain as the "Phoney war" because although war had been declared pretty much nothing had happened close to home. That has been the case for the last 14 years. We have been at war but other than an occasional attack it has always been at a distance. I think Paris along with other attacks which will surely come in the next few months will be the game changer, the Dunkirk moment if you like. Two of the attackers have already been identified as recent migrants into Europe, one as recently as 3rd October and there will be many many more planning their strikes as I type. Yes it is war." I do wonder where the next attack will be. With the millions who flooded across the borders into Europe, it was always an opportunity for terrorists to slip through the net. Austria or Germany next? | |||

"NO NOTHING LIKE THAT AT ALL THEY HAD CAMPS IN THE ISLE OF MAN LOOK BACK IN HISTORY INSTEAD OF TRYING TO TWIST THINGS" There were around 20,000 Germans living in Britain at the outbreak of Ww2 - the vast majority refugees from the Nazi regime, including Jews They were interned for a while but most were released quickly after tribunals. Do you really believe we can do the same for 1.35million people? The Isle of White is going to be rather overcrowded. | |||

Are you making things up again? If not do you have access to police sources that the international press don't? Up to the moment I can only see one attacker identified and he was born in France. Who is the other? | |||

"If Russia was gonna do it they would have in the last 2 weeks Do what? Decalire war on Isis for the murder of 200+ people on the aircraft. Least the French president got the balls to stand there and say this is war. But no doubt you will disagree with me lol Can you declare war on a group? I don't see why not to be honest, to me its no different to declaring war like we did in afghan or Iraq, they too were also a fanatical group. Well no they were countries and governments. no they were groups like isis, fanatical groups No it was Iraq and the Iraqi army and sadam hussein a government we put in place . " We put in place? We didn't put Sadam in place. We accepted him as a fact of life but that's not the same thing. I think you'll find the Russians had more to do with Sadam's rise to power then either the US or the UK. That's why his air force flew MIG fighters, and guess where he got his SCUD missiles from, I don't think BAE make them do they. It's easy to throw the same old anti US/western BS propaganda around but maybe you should check the facts and find the real truth before you spread someone else's lies for them. " And in afghan it was again the taliban the official government and the country we invaded. Please don't tell me you think we invaded Iraq to attack a terrorist group? " No, we invaded Iraq because, at the time, we believed Sadam had and was developing weapons of mass disruption. It was Afghanistan that we invaded to attack a terrorist group. | |||

"They were sent there for there own safety what will happen to the good Muslim people here Because as sure eggs are eggs we will turn on them " And in doing so, we play right into IS's hands. This is what they want. We risk provoking a backlash in affected communities and hardening perceptions of an illiberal or Islamophobic approach, alienating them still further. This will then drive people further towards extremism and terrorism. IS will have a recruitment bonanza. | |||
