There was an interview on television news last night with a Parisian who witnessed the last minutes on earth of one of the suicide bombers. He saw him in a restaurant rest room and he was sweating heavily and seemed very agitated.
Instead of detonating his bomb in the restaurant and adding to the number of casualties he walked into the street and exploded the bomb without harm to anyone but himself.
Could he have seen the error of his ways?

If Graham Greene was alive and writing he might have used this as the basis of a story about the gift of grace.
It's near a week now since these scums cost innocent decent law abiding person's their life's, why are we still giving them the publicity the seek?
Hi sandy
I read the same article and wondered the same thing

perhaps we were both influenced by the final scene in Blade Runner ( where that kinda happens )

other events worth a note - The Congolese Ludo who shielded a woman in one place ... and died himself

And the rifle jamming in one of the restaurants
but no one taking advantage of the gap - unlike on the train - where the marine said if I am gonna die cowering in a sear or attacking a terrorist then it will be the second ( ecently stabbed in a californian diner they say)
Sandy as an educated man - there is a russian play on this isnt there

The anarchist comes back to the hideout and confesses that he couldnt throw a bomb at the nobles' carriage - there were children in side..... looking straight ahead - and if they looked human I could have done it....

well it was a russian play and we anglos have never understood the steppe mentality
Could he have seen the error of his ways? maybe, is that wishful thinking on out part? Whatever let's not feel sorry for him.
"pompous asses like you, hughes, telling us what we're allowed to say. So why don't you just wind your neck in once in a while"

Don't you just love it when someone gets it right and the person it's directed towards has a hissy fit.

There is a classic transactional analysis pattern playing off here.
there is much in what you say, AP.

PP, my knowledge of 19th Century Russia theatre isn't all the it might be. Do you remember the name of the play where the anarchist refuses to act when he sees the human beings behind their titles?
