The 16 hour holding of hostages by radical Islamist in Sydney has finally come to an end. Three are dead, including the terrorist himself. There were 17 hostages. Terrorist attacks have only grown in frequency, and it is evident that the west must take further action against radical militant Islamist groups. Now more than ever, after 911, recent events in Boston, Ontario, and now Sydney; its clear that the West is under the thumb of terrorist groups. We cannot feel fully safe in our own cities, and terrorists know that. The war on terror is not over, and more action must be taken if we are to stop these attacks.
At least this was only a small scale attack (contrary to what the media would have you believe), though any loss of life due to these types of strikes against the West is reprehensible.
ReplyDeleteI hope these terrorist attacks not only remain small scale but hopefully will be contained because it makes people everywhere feel unsafe in their own country.
