I am empathetic to your comment.  But, we need to remember that most of us have but a small picture of the largeness of all this.  The French issues and our own are not disparate, but pieces of the bigger pic.  There's likely a time for what you describe.  It wouldn't appear that now is that time.  Much needs to occur, and those things are in the best of hands to affect them, at least in the states.  France has issues that are different at the current time and they seem to think their actions are more appropriate for that.  We'll have to let them judge. Ours is not that dire at this point. Of course, IMO.
