5 years ago I stayed in Rui Bellevue which is right next door to where the main attack took place and my parents were holidaying in Tunisia just 2 weeks ago. Their hotel was a 30 minute beach walk along the coast from the attack. The Tunisians are very nice people (much more than Egypt that's for sure) and hopefully they won't get tarnished.

Myself and my family are heading back to Turkey in September, my wife is now in two minds whether she wants to go which is a fair comment seeing as the Tunisian attack could be just the start of IS spreading its wings with heavily populated holiday destinations a target no matter where it is.
This really isn't a situation I want to put my family into.

A terrible tragedy for sure.
People around the world up in arms, and rightly so.
Only a grain of salt in comparison to the many hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians killed maimed and injured during our (UK/US) invasion of Iraq on false pretences. Not many batted an eyelid at this, still not one person culpable for one of the biggest mass genacides of our generation.
Who are the real terrorists here???
******* amazes me!!

First off let me start by saying i'm glad he survied but that guy who told his gf to run and took bullets for her what a damn idiot.
Why would anyone give there life up for someone else doesn't he know she would have been on someone elses dick by the end of the year if not sooner, no way in hell I would give my life up like that. I'm glad he survied but what an idiot.

its a true sad event which I hope never happens again but in all likeliness it will, wether it be abroad or in the uk nowhere is now a 'safe' place to be its that simple. pilots are crashing planes, people are being beheaded, random stabbings, lone gunmen are in holiday resorts.. its no longer a case of isolated incidents anymore its becoming weekly events all over the world.

All I suggested was our governments are as bad as if not worse than the terrorists themselves.
Now do yourself a favour and stop acting like an aggressive thug behind your keyboard 200 miles away, it doesn't work and only makes you look like fairy.
Thanks for your concern though cupcake

50,000, 100,000, half a million, or maybe you simply "don't give a fvck"
Maybe you think that they probably deserved it?

Probably should have kept it to myself, I guess. But what I'm saying is, if something kicked off in northern Cyprus (which given past events, could), and you were in Southern Cyprus, would you still demand to leave for home, even though you are miles away? And, additionally whilst doing so pushing infront of people who actually had lost loved ones?
I'm not saying I'd be going to all-night raves or treating it as a holiday from that point onwards, but I'm saying that those directly affected would get more help if the authority and operators weren't inundated by those who were located miles away wanting preferential treatment.

I was of this thinking a few years back. The not-yet Wife and I were going to Elope over in Kenya. Started doing research, planning it out and Somalian incursions begun and that was that. I'd genuinely love to go out there at some point but my spidey senses say not for the time being.

What an intelligent response. Nothing more than aggressive sheep with a bad attitude. If you read my post of course I agree with the majority, a terrible event that does indeed sadden me.

There's a difference between caught up and aimed at.

The world seems to be getting a less safe place

Did we go in to kill innocent people? No
I do give a fuck, I'd love the world to be a happy loving place, but it never will be. But when we have a major incident where tourists(from any country, not just the British) get gunned down and killed when this war on terror has nothing to do with them and you having do gooders bringing up how many we killed in past wars/invasion, it annoys me.

but unless you try and understand the reasons/rational the drives these maniacs you are never going to stop the carnage
this guy may well blame the UK for its part in the killing of 50, 100, 500 hundred thousand innocent men women and children and the bombing of a country / region to the stone age
whether we think we came to "help" or not is pretty irrelevant imo
President Bush in his many barmy childlike utterances on the whole "war on terror" said something once in a speech, that was so stupid it almost defied belief
it was commented on at the time - but not enough imo, as the thought process behind it was so dangerous
he basically said that the US was a force for good (so far so good) but then went on to deny the right of anybody to take a different view, to do so was to automatically call them an enemy and a potential terrorist
he actually believed that people had no right to have any other view - that is the mindset of someone with such limited intellectual capacity that having them in any position of authority / responsibility was always going to end in tears
luckily compared to Iraq we got off quite lightly

I think the point he is making is that if the allies had not stirred up the hornets nest invading countries under false pretences the world would be a calmer place. What we all have to remember here is what would we do if the boot was on the other foot. It's all wrong what's going on but my fear is what amount of loss of life and disruption will happen until it stops. Scary times I'm afraid. I worry for my children, I have 6 children ages 27 down to 4 what world are they going to be living when they are my age(48) how will this ever get resolved?
