It isn't about terrorism, its about politics. <br />So, what do you do when everyone decides to put on an impromptu political street party ? If you are invited, you go, or it looks like bad manners. You go because everyone else is going, thats all there is to it. Or at least send some representative of sufficient titular gravity to satisfy the needs of the occasion. That's the way of protocol. You have to at least pretend to give a blank for the interests of your counterparts. buwayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02388691837737324814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-28946419947323695302015-01-12T14:27:48.255-06:002015-01-12T14:27:48.255-06:00So in future every time there's a terrorist at...So in future every time there's a terrorist attack, "world leaders" are supposed to drop everything and attend a march? Ridiculous pointless symbolism. <br /><br />The terrorists must be hugging themselves with glee at the results of their actions. For some reason, Western governments always seem to respond to these kinds of events by doing exactly what will encourage more of the same.
