Paris is a warning: there is no insulation from our
wars
The attacks in France are a blowback from intervention in the Arab and
Muslim world. What happens there happens here

The official response to every jihadist-inspired terrorist attack in the
west since 2001 has been to pour petrol on the flames. That was true after 9/11
when George Bush launched his war on terror, laying waste to countries and
spreading terror on a global scale. It was true in Britain after the 2005 London
bombings, when Tony Blair ripped up civil liberties and sent thousands of
British troops on a disastrous mission to Afghanistan. And it’s been true in the
aftermath of last week’s horrific killings
at Charlie Hebdo and a Jewish supermarket in
Paris.
