At least 84 people were killed in the southern French town of Nice when a truck ran into a crowd celebrating the Bastille Day national holiday in a suspected terrorist attack.

The truck rammed into the crowd on the Promenade des Anglais seaside walk in the centre of town, regional newspaper Nice Matin reported, citing its own reporter at the scene.

French television channel BFM TV said the local prefecture in Nice was treating the incident as an attack and was asking people to stay at home.

The reason for the crash remained unclear.

Sebastien Humbert, the prefect for the Alpes-Maritime area, said: "A truck rammed into the crowd over a long distance, which explains this extremely heavy toll."

Mayor Christian Estrosi wrote on Twitter: "The driver of a van appears to have killed dozens. Stay in your homes for now. More info to follow."

Missing from your list, no more droning/bombings that destroy societies, and create breeding grounds full of pissed off people who suddenly find the radical ideology of the terrorist nuts a lot more appealing.

Did this happen before 2000 when we started an endless war in the middle east, that has now led to the displacement of very angry and maliable middle easterners?

Yes, this happened before year 2000, in fact the world trade center Part 1 was in 1993.

So far, the only approach that has worked against these social conservative maniacs has been the brutal tyranny of secular despots who modeled themselves after Stalin. In other words, a brutally effective police state with intelligence networks that permeate every social institution. Why a liberal western europe would welcome these guys into their homeland is truly baffling.

Ask a the terrorists. I'm guessing that those countries played some part in the Middle East wars. Secondly they support the terrorists via public transfers. IOW they are there they are terrorists so they commit acts of terror.

And now a word from the Neoliberals and SJWs:

Exactly just like Aziz Ansari, who is more worried about his mom going to mosque, while paying lip service to the atrocities in Orlando and subsequently denying that it is religiously motivated.

3 out of 4 countries mentioned have a strong, ghettoized muslim presence that agitate when things are not going their way. Due to the ghettoized nature, it is easy for them to organize and agitate as an excuse in response to drone strikes.

To not acknowledge US involvement is insane. IIRC the US has killed 250,00 non combatants in just Iraq and Afghanistan. But you don't "think" that has something to do with the situation? What the is wrong with you?

Bullshit. We did not kill 250,000 people. Suicide bombers killed most of the civilians.
There are riots by Islamists going on in India. WTF have we got to do with it?

Here's an old piece from 2005 written by Iraqi expat - "It's America's fault"

"Everything bad happening in this world, and I mean everything, is America’s fault. The ruler is oppressing the people; it’s America’s fault. All Arab leaders are no good; it’s America’s fault. There are lots of problems in Africa; it’s America’s fault. Saddam was brutal and killed many innocents; it’s America’s fault. Saddam invaded Kuwait; it’s America’s fault. Sanctions were imposed on Iraq; It’s America’s fault. 9/11 killed about 3000 innocents; it’s America’s fault. Islamophobia is increasing; it’s America’s fault. There are terrorists in the world; it’s America’s fault. Someone died in Iraq yesterday; it’s America’s fault. Someone will die in Palestine tomorrow; it’s America’s fault. And so on and so forth, it is always America’s fault."

LOL. Sounds like Indigenous.

BULLSHIT, this is the 1st result on a google search:

"The wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan have taken a tremendous human toll on those countries. As of March 2015, approximately 210,000 civilians have died violent deaths as a result of the wars."

No one is fine with war. We are less fine with terrorism, and if it takes war to end terrorism, so be it.

It takes reason to end war. Admittedly reasoning with Muslim terrorists is a fools errand. BUT not to see the US complicity is just swallowing the military industrial kool aid.

Trump was right again. How often does he have to be right before he will be president? Once again the blood of the victims is on the hands of the regressive left.
