On Friday evening in a Thalys Amsterdam-Paris bound train, two Americans and an Englishman thwarted a highly armed extremist Muslim terrorist before he managed to kill any of the passengers. However, three people at least suffered gun-shot wounds.
President Obama, President Hollande and Prime Minister David Cameron are quite rightly rejoicing in the bravery of the two Americans and the Englishman.
These three World Leaders will publicly and privately, express their gratitude to these Heroes. Their action is a perfect example of what can be achieved !
BUT, should these three World Leaders not now decide what must be done to further protect their citizens in the future and to deter such fanatical terrorists ?
Many of the "lone" extremists are, in fact already known and monitored by the security services of countries they have been to, because of the "friends" they have visited.
Should the aim not become to stop them before they kill by depriving them of their liberty, even if this infringes their Human Rights ?
One can no longer just sit back and wait for crimes to be committed. That is always too late !
