Winners Don't Do Terrorism
Now ... is ... not ... the time .. to ... PANIC!!!
Drama, drama! I was laughing so hard when I read that reaction to the arrest of a suspected terrorist cell here in the GTA, the coffee was leaking out my nose. The title is especially rich: And so it begins. Indeed it does, Lord Vader. Shaidle offers a stark choice:
All the charming restaurants and colourful ethnic festivals (that "help the economy") and funky world music on earth are not worth the life of one baby mangled in a subway bombing.
What to choose? What to choose? One mangled baby or charming restaurants and colourful ethnic festivals? OMG, I CAN'T DECIDE!!! Wait, can we ditch the festivals and keep the restaurants for half a mangled baby? I like a vindaloo at lunch from time to time.
Obviously, there is cause to be concerned about terrorist attacks like the ones that occurred in London & Madrid and clearly some people are insulated from this reality. But the way to combat terrorism is by using tools we already have: democracy, rule of law and a just society ... not demonizing immigrants.
