No relatives there, but it's still very sad. I've been to Paris and it's really hard to be imagine something like this.
Nice thing about Hawaii, is its not really a good target for terrorism, but we will not immune to its effects, especially if something happens again on the mainland.
It's a very good idea to keep up with world events and be prepared.

Time for France (and Europe in general) to get tough. I don't see how allowing hundreds of thousands (maybe millions) more Muslims into Europe is going to do anything except encourage more attacks. Close the borders, permanently.

Not terrorism, per se, but Hawaii felt pretty safe on Dec. 6, 1941, too. Just sayin'.
