Paris Attack Effects
As obvious as it may seem, the most prompt effect of the Paris attack were the victims that were injured or slaughtered unjustly, and everyone around them that has to now cope with their death. Furthermore, it is absolutely unfathomable to understand the gravity of one lost life, let alone the estimated 129 (Peralta). Attempting to understand how it will affect their friends, their wife or husband, or to think of how grueling it must be to lose a parent to something like this would sting like a phantom pain for the remainder of their life.

French president Francois Hollande claims that France has declared war on ISIS beginning with air raids on training camps and outposts (Martinez). Meanwhile, the US president Obama has no intention of changing the strategy of staying as uninvolved as possible to avoid sending more troops, to avoid losing a large sum of money, and to not have the issues with Bush’s “War on Terror” repeat themselves (Smith). Although, the United States has stopped ISIS from getting territorial advances through air strikes which has for the most part been successful as most air strikes on ISIS come from the United States. Additionally, many people believe that declaring another war on ISIS is a good idea including reports that come from CNN, Fox News, and similar networks; however, this can lead to as much harm as good because it requires troops to stay in ISIS controlled regions to make sure that the problem of terrorism doesn’t resurface after troops inevitably leave. Not only does this take a huge sum of money to do, but it has been proven that if a terrorist threat is thought to be eliminated mostly such as Al Qaeda, that a new threat follows like ISIS (Martinez). On the other hand, realizing ISIS will continue to take territory for their control is a scary thought, which is why the US is getting involved as minimally as possible. Assuredly, Presidential Candidates are claiming that they will dispose of ISIS unlike the current president in response to the terrorist attack, which is likely a scheme to achieve votes by preying on the hysteria that has emerged since the attack. Meanwhile, France’s president hasn’t said much other than that there is now a war and a few air strikes which isn’t a huge change from before anyway,
