One man on a beach has held a Country to ransom, he has more or less single handedly destroyed their main industry and has resulted in a knee jerk reaction that has seen several Countries pulling their people out of the said Country, ONE MAN!

There is risk aversion and there is risk aversion, but there is nothing to stop a similar attack being carried out at any other holiday destination abroad, infact the same thing could be said about the UK. Indeed with the increased security in place in Tunisia one does wonder if a softer target elsewhere would then become their aim.

When terrorists hijacked the first ever aircraft even they didn't believe it would work, but the UK capitulated and released several prisoners proving to the terrorist that hijacking was a viable weapon and opening the floodgates to such actions, one does wonder if we have just repeated history.
