Terrorist attacks in France, terrorist attacks in Syria and Iraq

It seems that again the authorities in a major country have been taken by surprise with the recent terrorist attacks. Could they prevent them? Hard to say, on one hand it's difficult for the police, special services, secret services and all the bunch to prevent them but on the other hand different organizations have threatened for months that they will react and commit these acts.

Now it seems that no one took these threats seriously, like yes a couple of terrorists would really blow up our civilized city. Did they ignore them on purpose or they treat them as bluff? Even more they raised the stake when France decided to increase its support again ISIS by sending their biggest aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle to help with the bombing campaign. They pretty much said : we don't care about your threats, you can't touch us and we're really pushing you some more.

No the French are outraged and cry and for good purpose. Did they expect these terrorist attacks? Did they take the ISIS threats ever seriously? Did the common man ever asked why the French military goes bombing Iraq and Syria? Did they take into account and accept that this would cause ISIS to react?

The world is of course outraged by the events but much of this outrage is because the victims are from a major EU country. Hundreds of innocent victims were collateral victims in Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan because of the US / UK / French planes? When a hospital was blown up by the anti-terrorist forces how many tweets and facebok posts did we see showing compasion for the victims and demanding justince against the aggressors. Oh yeah, the truth is that Europeans, Americans and the rest don't really care about those victims, they are third world country citizens so why bother? It's a sad world we live in and we get to see millions and millions fooled by the media every day and manipulated as sheep.
