A line in a Jackson Browne song stated “and everywhere the good prepare for … perpetual war.”
Obviously, he’s been paying attention …
That’s in deference to those focused on their own hedonism, ignoring suffering, as it increases around the world.
Although the writing has literally been on the wall … in blood, for the past decade and a half, why is it that Europeans, continue to be so taken aback every time a new terror attack occurs nearby, as if each one were the first?
EU leaders and the Pope all expressed their condolences — and “deep shock” — at the well-coordinated, terror attacks across Paris, which claimed 130 lives and wounded 350.
Americans don’t appear to be as shocked . . .
The most deadly assault, at the Bataclon’s rock concert, witnesses, reported the suicidal terrorists were heard yelling, “Allahu Akbar” and “this is for Syria” as they murdered the attendees.
The French had no reason to think violence would ever come to their part of the world?
… a few short months ago … 3 Americans on board a train – servicemen who, upon hearing gunfire, ran “toward the danger, instead of away.”
What’s the difference?
Also dismissed were the:
- recent ‘downing’ of the Russian airliner with 240 dead
- the invasion of the Ukraine
- The bomb in Beiruit
- Last January’s Charlie Hebdo attack
- The recent rise of anti-Semitism – the attack on a Paris Jewish deli
- 9/11
- the 2004 Madrid train bombings, which killed nearly 200 and wounded 2000,
- the 2005 attacks on London’s transit system where 56 people were killed and 700 wounded.
- The beheading, in broad daylight, in the streets of London
World leaders have no conceivable excuse left to be shocked and surprised at mass terrorism occurring . . . and the people? What’s their excuse?
America’s FBI have over 900 active investigations, in every state, … investigations of jihadists that have returned to the U.S. . . .
ISIS threatened Europe with an influx of 500,000 migrants, which would include ISIS operatives intentionally hiding among them. The obvious intent was to, in time, create chaos on the continent. That time has come; there should be no surprise there.
The world expected the U.S. to protect them from ISIS … they did until the cowardly Obama … Now, the world teeters on the brink of war …
Like appeasement in the 1930’s, the terrorist attacks in Paris are the direct and deplorable result of political cowardice and inertia. Politicians are unable or unwilling to name the problems by their rightful name – is it just denial, or is there another malevolent undercurrent?
The current generation of political leaders has exhibited an irresponsibility and lack of leadership that is almost infantile by allowing unchecked Muslim immigration into Europe, with its free, open borders.
Obama and our other traitorous leaders refuse to close our borders … they’re already bringing these ‘so-called refugees’ into the U.S.
What’s next?
