French President Francois Hollande said that the attack on Paris by Islamic State was an act of war ... . I beg to differ with the president, especially in this terrible moment for the French people, but we are at war and we have been for decades. France has been at the forefront of the war against Islamic State and has been warned and threatened by the barbaric and merciless terror group on countless occasions. I think that we must realise in the West that when we launch a bombing campaign we are effectively at war. This should by no means weaken our resolve to see the job through to the end but we must also live with the possible consequences. The attacks in Paris showed once again that we are dealing with a ruthless and barbaric organisation that needs to be stopped in its tracks. The western world has been shown to be war weary after Iraq and Afghanistan, but if we are to finish Islamic State then we need to have the same resolve and courage as our forefathers in previous wars.
