London

Listening to the news on the radio this morning, I was transported back to a morning in September about 4 years ago. What was different is that last time, there was disbelief, and this time there was anger and a desire for vengence. To take those who are responsible for perpetrating this and other terrorist acts and give them the consideration that they give others ... none.

The only way to counter the terrorism that is being fostered is a zero tolerance policy. The people in these groups show no regard for human life in the name of religious zealotry. Beheadings, suicide bombs and indiscriminate killing should be met with something that they will understand ... indiscriminate force.

Premier Calvert says we should try to combat the roots of terrorism. Hell yeah ... wait, what do you do to the roots of terrorism once you find them? Give them counselling? Please don't do that anymore ... no, really please do not. As an NDP foundational belief in disposing of the military, this shows why we need to stand up for what is right, rather than what is popular. And Premier Calvert would know nothing of that.
