&gt; Ok. So if it indeed can be attributed to them, or if they go out and admit, then fine, send in the tanks - the Paris attack would be an act of war.<p>They claimed responsibility. As for sending in the tanks, I don&#x27;t see that happening.<p>&gt; Oh it can. We have a long way to go from what we have now to what was in USSR or Nazi Germany. I just hope we don&#x27;t decide to run the distance.<p>Yeah, but neither were democracies. The Red Scare-era US would be a better example. I really hope it doesn&#x27;t go this way.<p>&gt; What worries me more is that the overrection will be aimed at immigrants and minorities who live in Europe. There already are reports of this beginning to happen.<p>Probably not from the government, but who knows what the population will do?
