Sigh! They include the 30 day retention time in their plans.

Which, by your definition is the Western. Take a look at
what constitutes a "decent" civilized society when the
extremists are in charge. That is what they intend the
world to have; these politicians are expansionists.
The West, who has dropped that tactic, is going to have to
deal with it.

What part of the word "make" do you not understand the meaning of?

Cool. I should have said "at least" since then.

Of course there will be. No law enforcement infrastructure
is infallible. If your laws force your police to let someone,
go, that person will not be deterred from making a mess. What
makes you think that he will stop his plans?

A very small huff and puff happened in New Orleans. It's infrastructure
is still in shatters. It doesn't seem that anyone knows how to rebuild
it without calling in the US Army.

One passenger boat sinking in (I think) the Red Sea caused a riot
and shut down a port.

I am assuming that all welfare, upper-middle class neighborhoods will
be in the same situation. Noone knows how to fix stuff nor cope
with stuff that breaks.

I understand the word "make". That's what you're doing at present.
