I don’t have a great deal to say about the terrorist attacks in Brussels that have left scores of dead and wounded that I haven’t already said. My heart goes out to the Belgian people.
The ethnic nation states of Europe have problems that they need to address. They need to make conscious decisions as to whether they will remain mostly Christian (or post-Christian) ethnic states or become multi-confessional, multi-ethnic, multi-racial countries. The decision should be conscious rather than willy-nilly because they’ll need to make some choices in either case. One major complication is that a single decision probably won’t be acceptable for all of Europe. Schengen may be dead for good.
I don’t think that we have quite the same problems as our European cousins do, at least not yet, and we should take care not to import their problems. We have plenty of problems of our own.
The last thing the US needs is a president who would keep out these fine young men and women. If you cannot trust the Belgian vetting process, whose vetting process can you trust?
Europe will never become multi-anything in the way Americans understand the concept. They are snobs. They would rather fight than switch, and they would rather exterminate than fight.
Conquest by demographics will never work. It will take physically controlling an area and relocating (kicking out) or exterminating the existing citizens. That is how the present Europeans got to be European, and so too for the people they kicked out.
Now, how many more of those nice Muslim boys should we invite? They are so polite and well mannered. The last thing we need is a rude president who would insult such fine specimens of humanity.
Somebody is on the wrong side of history, but I suspect it is not the people who think they are on the right side. Oh well, history, as reality and objective science, is a cruel mistress.
” If you cannot trust the Belgian vetting process, whose vetting process can you trust?”
Ingersting. Did they have one? I was under the impression they did not.

Oh, for God’s sake: no one has a vetting process, it’s all kabuki. You can’t check data against a non-existent database. Do people really imagine we have some big list of terrorists and their associates? If we do, I kinda wonder how all these unknown terrorists keep popping up.
You know where they do the vetting? At the farm where all your lost doggies and kitties went to play. It’s right next to the big rock candy mountain. You can catch the train on platform 9 3/4 at King’s Cross.
Senseless loss of life. Politics loses steam on days like today.
Wise words, jan.
