Of COURSE the terror threat level should be lowered. Terrorists catch diseases too
I’ve been asking why the terror threat level hasn’t fallen for months.
With the Covid-19 pandemic raging through the world and borders closing in every continent, it was only to be expected that terrorism would simmer down, if not stop altogether.
I couldn’t understand why the threat level had not been lowered months ago.
Don’t get me wrong – I don’t think there are fewer terrorists around or that they have given up on using terror attacks. It’s just that they don’t have the opportunity at the moment.
Yes, there were events in France and Austria – months ago, after most countries enjoyed a reprieve from serious Covid infection last summer.
Also, it seems unlikely that countries such as the UK will not have had their usual opportunities to get into areas that are terrorism hotspots and stir them up.
It won’t last – partly because some people really do just like to watch things burn.
As soon as they get the chance, people from the so-called western democracies will be out in the world, spreading their – mainly commercial – influence by force if necessary.
In return, people from the regions they pester will try to get their own back and the cycle will begin again. It will continue until we learn to elect wiser leaders.
But we have a respite for the time being.
I hope those who have had to spend the last few years working hard to fight terrorism take the opportunity to enjoy that respite while they can.
