Giving in to the aggressors on all levels

Is that what Denmark does? Well, in that case we can just assume that there will be no follow-up investigation, arrests, and prosecutions of the criminals that performed this act.

I'm certain their own internal police force has no anti-terrorism task force to try to prevent such incidents. They have no bomb-sniffing dogs, no paid informants in radical groups, no internal security organizations. You certainly can't if you just give in all the time.

No Tom, what this illustrates instead is that any country, no matter how many trillions of dollars they pour into defending themselves and building up huge levels of armaments, can stop people intent on doing them harm from sneaking through the cracks and setting off random bombs. Denmark, despite not having 40+ percent of their budget devoted to military and security, can get hit by random wackos just as we can. However, were you to go anywhere in the world today, and asked any citizen of any other country who they were more angry towards or fearful of, Denmark or the United States, I'll give you three chances to guess the answer you'll get.

So yeah, even the most innocuous country can sometimes be targeted but you have to admit that increasing the number of people that despise you brings up the odds of being that target. It also helps that, if the perpetrators are coming out of the Middle East, it's a much shorter and easier trip across Europe than traversing the Atlantic.

Look, nobody argues that these particular Islamic radicals don't need to be dealt with as the criminals that they are. However, take a look at what this flame brought out from other conservatives Tom. You know your intent is to do that. You play all innocent watching people like Lee jump in and take the spotlight of bigotry and innuendo away from you but the rest of us can see it. In many ways I respect more the outright idiocy because at least they're honest about their intent. With you it's this subtle manipulation. You ought to be ashamed.
