Another War looming?

[Devonian]

My gut feeling on this is that most of the US/European type Jihadi's see it as their duty or calling to go and fight and help their Brothers.

BUT.... the vast majority (that survive) will simply want to (eventually) come home to their families; friends; western lifestyles; 'benefits'; and safe/secure environments. In the same way as we do not want to live in fear, nor do they.

Ultimately if they wanted to fight and disrupt the 'establishment' here in the UK or in France or in the States, then why go to Syria in the first place, why not stay here and simply carry out attacks on UK soil?? OK, they may go out there and get training and become more radicalised, but I think when they come back to their family and friends etc they may put a lot of that behind them.

Now I am not saying that there will not be people coming back having been trained to carry out such attacks, but I think that the numbers involved will be a lot lot less than those being quoted by TPTB.

The bigger risk to me, is actually the non-UK Nationals who have been tasked with carrying out specific attacks on UK soil. These groups have no compassion towards the UK and will have a single minded task mentality in carrying out their attack or attacks to the maximum potential before getting out of the UK as quick as they can.

So to me the risk is small, any targets will almost certainly be in the big cities or major transport terminals, in fact there has already been a suggestion that the Paris and NY metros are a current target.

Of course the impacts of any such attacks will affect the whole country, but I do not see it leading to any kind of widespread war within the UK itself.
