#1 "Let the uncivilized take their chances."

Nice sentiment, but if we're really smart, we'll leave nothing to chance.

#3 Maybe we have been too civilized for too long? Maybe it's time to get uncivilized and medieval.

#4 JohnQC, we can remain civilized, but go temporarily medieval.

#5 The wanker that Mr Smeaton gave a kicking to was in the hospital near where I work having his burns tended to.

You would not *believe* some of the comments I heard about what should really be done with him. From all walks of life.

I take that to mean the line between civilisation and (temporary?) barbarism is getting pretty thin.

I really do fear what will happen if the West (specifically Europe) removes the mask of civilisation - after all, this is a continent that has had war raging to and fro for literally hundreds of years and ended up inventing the dehumanising and extermination of people on an industrial scale.

To my mind, there's something very nasty lurking under the surface in Europe, and I don't think it should be woken up. I'm not talking about military might here "Europe roars and the World listens, especially those stupid Americans", but something...darker.

Considering that this tosser and his fellow terrorist timed their murderous attack to coincide with the greatest number of families and children being present at Glasgow's air terminal, yes I would.
