OK. We've rationalized that modernity will easily defeat antiquity to the point of pointing out that 20 million shot gun armed ancients are literally buried then killed with followup machine gun fire by a modern army. So that helps us gather up those who are responsible for Friday the thirteenth massacre in Paris how?
Clearly all this romanticism isn't getting us focused on the fact we are dealing with conventional terrorists who've actually made us so fearful that 28 governors in the US are saying they won't accept Syrian refugees in their states. Doesn't that remind on of what was going on when Ebola struck in West Africa.
Its about fear and how to overcome it. So far nothing.
So ..... one overcomes fear by those in leadership of societies standing up and dis-inviting those with bomb jackets and rifles from public spaces, technologists finding means for detecting and disarming any who would be to so inclined arm themselves and by convincing those who permitted these persons to flourish that what they permit is no longer welcome at modernity's table.
Concretely, that means bomb detecting technology cheaply and readily available at all public venues, cameras and detectors of all forms of ammunition also ubiquitously placed and laws regarding the misuse of others in any way sanctioned by removal of those things those who do so desire most.
More specifically. Chemical and visual detectors in linked grids everywhere persons are likely to congregate. Demands by liberal nations that those who permit abuse of others that they change or be removed from the table of civilized nations - States either give rights to those they sanction for any reason not explicitly harming others or they are prohibited from any form of international commerce - and moves by those liberal nations to change focus from denial of rights to insurance of granting rights to everyone regardless of financial resources.
Basically I'm saying change etiquette to ban all forms of lethality and exclusion from state exercise of government and to insist that those who maintain such that they get rid of it or they don't have a place at the table of commerce.
Fairness and safety of those who are now oppressed is to be the rule of the day.
