Thread Name: BS: Beach massacre in Tunisia
Subject: RE: BS: Beach massacre in Tunisia
No-one seems to be thinking of the people of Tunisia in this discussion (I haven't read every post so if anyone has mentioned Tunisia and Tunisians, my apologies). This brutal act may well destroy, or at least severely damage, the Tunisian tourist industry - which, in turn, probably represents a significant part of the Tunisian economy. Many Tunisians, who work in the industry, are likely to be thrown out of work and left poverty-stricken. And poor, workless people are more easily radicalised. There is also the risk of de-stabilising the Tunisian state. Terrorism always has objectives beyond gratuitous slaughter - it is "the war of the flea". This flea with his AK47 may achieve as much as all of the much bigger monsters with their tanks and artillery and their drones and air-strikes. They're all 'paving the way to Hell', of course!
