A lot of debate is taking place in the aftermath of the terror strike. Much of it is in the form of "citizen debates". The difference this time is that senior corporate honchoes feel that they need to get involved. The answers that are being thrown up are interesting in that they reflect a corporate mind-set.
Throw more resources at the problem. We are under policed is the common refrain. Aside from the impossibility of finding "adequate" resources (what is adequate after all?), the solution begs the question - should be treat the symptom or the disease. If more policing is the problem, would someone care to explain how the terrorist got through at a time when a naval exercise was on to stop exactly this intrusion?
Another, and even more inane response is that we should not "politicise the problem". Hello ! pray how ELSE will one work at solving it? After all, the politicians are our representatives, meant to find solutions to issues which are common to all. If there are differences of views among them, perhaps that is because there is a difference of view among the polity.
Meanwhile the geopolitical games move on exactly as expected.. watch the space...
