MY CANADA cannot let the past week and the shooting trauma in Ottawa go by without comment. It must start with the statement “Proud, compassionate and sensible Canadians returned to their roots after years of changing political styles and degrees of strong party oriented attacks. The nation is after all the same sensible compassionate and lovable nation most of the world came to respect so highly in the past. Bygone leaders that molded the type of world-recognized country Canada represents can be assured current generations are carrying on the tradition regardless of appearances documented by a new style of media.”
A mentally disturbed Canadian copycat killer possibly emulating another person with a similar affliction murdered a military soldier wearing Canadian Forces uniform. The government intent on finding a reason to justify assigning aircraft to bomb alleged terrorist installations by entering the war raging in the Middle East tagged the Canadian murders terrorists or at least claiming the pair was inspired by ISIS.
The terrorist organization ISIS is apparently gaining recruits and becoming more militarized with every news report from the battlefield. Admittedly the new fighters are an organization without admitting ties to any particular country, but are strongly allied to Islamic faith Jihad, an organization claiming to represent the Muslim faith. The aim of ISIS according to reports is to first invade and capture every Arab and former Prussian state while ruthlessly killing all those opposing the invader’s advance. Media reports claim hundreds of North American youth disenchanted with the North American way of life have or are in the process of joining the ISIS movement. The people involved are citizens with valid passports allowing re-entry into Canada and The United States where authorities fear more attacks could be launched similar to the pair in Canada. Both countries are bolstering intelligence and police service in an effort to combat the new-born Jihadists. Canada is reportedly considering taking away some citizen rights in a misguided effort to curtail ISIS recruitment of youth and others.
The government cannot confirm a direct tie to the Jihadist organization even in the case of the two killers that launched the Ottawa and Quebec attacks against military personnel. All any official agency can seem to confirm is the men involved wanted to join ISIS and after converting to Islam were convinced by someone or some organization that becoming a martyr would bring special status in the afterlife. At least that is the methodology according to material the media and/or the social networks claim is the incentive for some of the dissidents to accomplish such dastardly deeds. It doesn’t seem anyone at any level or with any agency has a valid explanation for the killings. Calling it a terrorist action loosely fits the situation enough to convince some people that getting involved in bombing missions that will probably also kill innumerable innocent civilians are justified.
Canada and other democratic nations will undoubtedly experience more of these attacks as youth and young adult males, and from recent reports females, join the Jihadist movement. An old world type organization that North Americans witnessed doesn’t hesitate to publicly behead people from countries involved in trying to stop ISIS overpowering of Mid East countries.
The present solution seems to be arming friendly countries in an effort to have people that already suffered decades of war fight the ground battle with ISIS while bombing the enemy’s installations and equipment if possible. The long term solution according to history is an inevitable ground war involving most nations in the world with the end result of a far different planet regardless of outcome.
