I know about there were terrorist attacks on before 1987 but I'm talking about US military involvement to war on terrorism - not official until after 9/11.

Yes, I'm surprised about US got involved and armed the Islamist groups during Soviet invasion of Afghanistan.

I believe that military action supposed to be short term or temporary to resolve the crisis as soon as possible.

It is unusual for military action that lasted for 14 years and counting since most wars with US involvement usually last 1-5 years, but could be 10 years for worst cases.

Soccer fans chant and boo during moment of silence


This is disturbing. Instead of Muslims disowning the terrorists and their acts, they seem to be supporting them.

The seven-year-old Belgian Shepherd was killed sometime during the seven-hour siege on an apartment in the Paris suburb of Saint Denis; French police tweeted on Wednesday.

Police posted a photo of Diesel and said, “assault and explosives search dogs are indispensable in the missions of the operators of the raid…."

Say what?! :jaw:

Secretary of State John Kerry on Tuesday suggested that the "rationale" for the terrorist attack against the satirical French publication Charlie Hebdo, which left 12 people dead in January, is more understandable than any rationale for last week's attacks in Paris.

"There's something different about what happened from Charlie Hebdo, and I think everybody would feel that," he said in remarks at the U.S. Embassy in Paris. "There was a sort of particularized focus and perhaps even a legitimacy in terms of - not a legitimacy, but a rationale that you could attach yourself to somehow and say, 'Okay, they're really angry because of this and that.' This Friday was absolutely indiscriminate."
