These terrorists will not prevail purely down to the weight of numbers that are against them

prayers go out to the victims (160) of intolerant islamic terrorists. i pray we dont appease such intolerant beliefs and actions.

Look at the images of those police officers, medics, firemen, doctors, nurses, and complete strangers who rush to the aid of the victims of a tragedy. Children need to know that bad things happen, but they also need to know that there is always help.

great message

Forgive me, but a question for you all: If you were planning to go to Paris in the next two weeks, would you still go given today's events?

I'm taking my family to Paris for Christmas and London for the New Year. I have no intention of changing plans unless there are mass closings by the government or there are major restrictions of movement.

Shocking attack. Best wishes to those in Paris as they heal.

A great lesson. I agree with Miss Frank, too.

Vive la France...

As with everyone else here, my thoughts, prayers and hopes are with the people of France.

To our French members, please know that America stands with you, our oldest alley, just as you have stood with us in the past.

Sooner or later, the dark will give way to the light.

Vive la France.
