What now!! Metal detectors at all roads leading to airports within XX KM? The killers now preferring guns vs suicide vests? well, it easily kills more. I cannot believe that the following countries ( who have been spit on and made to look like incompetent fools); France, Belgium, USA, Belgium, Russia, every country in the Middle East, Australia, Canada, Denmark, Tunisia, Egypt.. do not have enough soldiers to fight ONE group: ISIS. Citizens are getting mad, hell yes, it's one thing to go to war, but it's an entirely different thing to kill citizens vacation, out for dinner or out dancing..... This is absurd and is starting to look like a real sham. The media is now all over the tube saying, " ISIS is telling us this attack can happen in the US now" isn't that nice to know!! Seeing that fuc&^%er detonating his vest on the floor of the airport in Turkey was more than horrifying. Our Gov's are not protecting us, that is very very obvious. The 3 Amigo!!! what the hell! more like the 3 stooges. They should be doing their job for get out.

I'm open to alternatives.

Apparently sonically vaporized liquor can be inhaled these days.

Cher has apologized for using a bomb and explosion emoji in a tweet about Tuesday’s terrorist attacks in Istanbul, Turkey.
After gunmen and suicide bombers attacked the city’s Ataturk Airport, leaving 41 people dead and more than 200 injured, Cher took to Twitter to write the victims were in her prayers.
However the tweet, which read, “We all pray for innocent people in Turkey airport (sic),” also included two emoji cartoon pictures of a bomb and and an explosion.
Users of the social media site were quick to brand the Believe singer, 70, insensitive because of her poor choice of emoji. The characters are more commonly used to express happier emotions in online conversations.
In the wake of the backlash, Cher posted an apology on her Twitter feed which read, “PPL R SENSITIVE & I DIDNT THINK.I Offer My (heart)FELT APOLOGY. Every1(sic) Who Knows Me,Knows Im (sic) Tender 2PPL (sic) Who are Hurting.”
The tweets about the Istanbul attacks mark the second time in less than a week that Cher’s use of emojis on social media have got her into trouble.
Last week Britons went to the polls to decide whether to leave the European Union, a vote which those arguing Britain should leave, were victorious in.
After the result, she tweeted the praying emoji to indicate she was praying it was the best decision for the British people.
However many Twitter users who read the post thought Cher was indicating that she thought leaving the EU would be better for Britain. She later clarified her position on the matter by clarifying she was praying the British people had done the right thing for their country.

The EU announced today that it is to start the next stage of negotiations for Turkey to become a member state.

Yet we were told many times during the referendum campaign by Remain that Turkey is not going to become a member of the EU, so we should stop worrying about it!

It shows again that Brexit is the sensible decision. Britain's getting out of the EU before 80 million Muslims join it.

It was part of a deal Turkey and the EU made. Turkey would take back thousands of refugees trying to get into Europe and the EU would move Turkey's membership forward. It was a stalling tactic. The EU didn't want to deal with the refugee crisis and they'll probably keep stringing Turkey along. Turkey is barely democratic and doesn't respect fundamental freedoms of speech, association etc., or certain legal rights. It has huge security problems. It also doesn't recognized the government of Cyprus, an EU member. That is a huge sticking point. You can't join the EU if you don't recognize all its members.
