Bastille Day Horror in Nice

[abaris]

I did not say that the day was not special to the French, that was your assumption. 

There have been other terror attacks in France not tied to one of their national days. So I gather that you believe that this was directed against France and not just a crowd opportunity.

Of course, if it was a terrorist attack, it was directed against France. Knowing how destabilized the society already is and knowing that Hollande considered revoking the state of emergency, that had been in effect since the last attacks, it's more than justified to think that.

They live and thrive on fear. And striking in France, under the circumstances, on the 14th of july, certainly is no coincidence.
