What France suffered from savage terror is what the Syrian people have been enduring for over five years.France is supporting the opposition and rebel groups against Syria government. France had been a particularly vocal opponent of Assad during the Syrian civil war.The first question i asked by every French citizen today is, ‘Have the French policies over the past five years brought any good to the French people?’ The answer is no, so what I ask him to do is to act in the interest of the French people—which means changing his policies. France has been in the forefront of Western countries in backing the Syrian opposition politically, financially and logistically since the conflict began in 2011. Along with other countries in the West, it has provided military and financial support to the so-called Free Syrian Army, an umbrella rebel group made up mostly of defected Syrian army officers and soldiers.

I think it is at the time to throw Godwin's Law in the ring https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godwin%E2%80%99s_law ... Let's see if I earn any Godwin points: My history teacher always said "we learn from history that we do not learn from history", so here is my favorit quotation on "War on terror":
Göring: "Why, of course, the people don't want war. Why would some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best that he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally, the common people don't want war; neither in Russia nor in England nor in America, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy or a fascist dictatorship or a Parliament or a Communist dictatorship." Gilbert: "There is one difference. In a democracy, the people have some say in the matter through their elected representatives, and in the United States only Congress can declare wars." Göring: "Oh, that is all well and good, but, voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same way in any country."

Now, how many Godwin points do I get?
