In France, but probably also in other countries, after the massacre of 17 people in Paris last week, journalists and politicians, everyone in fact, has ideas of the solutions required to prevent a repetition of such atrocities !
A closer analysis of what is really needed in France reveals that small but wide ranging changes, are required in a cross section of Government departments.
The very idea of having to accept such small changes, generally creates instant "opposition" ! Ministers, jealously, want to protect their current hierarchical powers !
For example, if one admits that ultimately an Anti-Terrorist Minister (A-T M) at Ministerial level, must or will probably be appointed, he cannot work alone and would need the help of other departments when exceptional circumstances arise !
When suddenly, action is necessary, he will certainly need the help of the Police or Soldiers who have already been specially trained beforehand for crisis situations not connected with Terrorism !
However, it is the A-T M who will know best what he really needs to function and to attain his "defined objectives" ! He must also guide politicians when legislation is drafted covering his area of responsibility !
He will also need to consult the Minister of Foreign Affairs, or Ambassadors and foreign A-T Ms like himself !
He must therefore be a proven and confident self-starter, who can Co-ordinate the efforts of everyone around him, even when there is not a crisis !
