Even last month Obama has agreed to give them weaponry to supposedly fight terrorists who are sponsored by their own Army. Short term foreign policy band-aid initiatives lead to long term problems which are difficult to solve. You reap what you sow, I am afraid.

>>> As many of you know, Paris Photo 2015 has been on this week from yesterday, and continues over this weekend. It is always a wonderful show, and Paris is a wonderful city to visit as a photographer, or indeed as an ordinary tourist. Until my wife got ill, I went to Paris Photo every year, and I was sorry I couldn't go there again this year.

>>> I don't know how many Luggers are there at the moment, but, as a member of this list, I wish to express my horror at the appalling carnage that is happening to innocent people over there tonight. To Philippe and the other photographers we know in France, or any one else who is in Paris, I hope you and your loved ones are safe and that you have my deepest sympathies on this tragedy.
