Tragedy in PARIS

[DaBurglar]

The horrific, terrible events in PAris yesterday are now being utilized by anti-immigrant people to justify SHUTTING OUT and not helping the large number of refugees that have been fleeing Syria the past year.......I find this to be both   (1) a wrongheaded slap at the (poor, sick and destitute) refugees fleeing for their lives from the chaos in Syria;  and  (2) a insult to the innocent victims who perished in Paris during the attacks by wrongly placing the blame at the feet of people who did not do it while ignoring the REAL actual culprits (ISIS and Islamic extremists in general)!First off, Does everyone realize and understand that it is precisely this type of violence (that which happened in PAris yesterday)  and extremism that the refugees are FLEEING FROM in the first place?????    The poor people fleeing Syria and Iraq are trying to escape the random, chaotic violence that ISIS and similar terrorist organizations perpetrate, and it is wrong to actually believe that these victims would themselves immediately (and senselessly) perpetrate similar acts upon reaching a "Safe" haven like the country of France and city of Paris.....   AT the same time, it should be painfully obvious, given the size, scope and sophistication of the actual attacks and violence in Paris that this was no mere random, on-the-fly impulsive action, that it was perpetrated by a large organization of people hell bent on causing mayhem and death, and could not be the work of POOR, bedraggled, sickly refugees without a pot to **** in .....!   Among My point(s) here is this cold, sobering, and sad fact:   Of course, it is quite possible that, mixed in amongst the thousands of refugees fleeing syria for the safe haven of Europe are a handful of "bad apples", and that screening and filtering and weeding out these "bad apples" from the rest of the turly innocent victims is a tough and difficult job......but in no way does this tough job justify outright abandoning and ceasing to help the thousands of refugees fleeing Syrai/Iraq.......Instead, what I believe needs to happen, is a major overhaul of how Europe (and the world) is dealing with this crisis......I think they need to consider the idea of a Billionaire from Egypt who offered to "buy" a ISLAND in the Mediterranean sea and plop the several Hundred Thousand refugees there in camps stocked with food, water, shelter and basic nedical care......this would contain the people, get them out of harms way, but also allow the European governments the chance to actually (and thoroughly)  "VET" the refugees to find any possible troublemakers, before assimilating them into the various European societies.......This is not an unrealistic or unattainable goal, and it could be accomplished in many different ways, and doe snot actually NEED the Billionaire to fully commit to actually DOING what he proposed......the European union could simply implement such a plan on its own and does not need the help of a Wealthy individual (although such a thing HELPS, at least in the short term....)     Perhaps the recent tragedy in PAris will galvanize people to start thinking in serious, yet creative terms to solving the actual problem(s) at hand.......

I don't car if you are democrat, republican or independent we are all
Americans and bleed red white and blue. When we remain united we have
strength. It is only a matter of time before what happened in Paris will
be happening here in the states. I'm sick of the politically correct
not calling these acts of unprecedented violence what they are,
TERROISM!! President Obama a lot of this falls on you. Had you listened
to your Generals and left boots on the ground as advised there
would be no ISIS today. Instead you called ISIS the JV team and only
yesterday the morning of the attacks you made the statement that ISIS
was contained.Your mantra when elected was to be nice to these animals
and make apologies. This policy really worked! You also traded 5 high
profile terrorists that were involved in many attacks for a trader.
Don't be surprised to find out they involved in these attacks. Our
military defenses is at an all time low since before WW2. All this on
your watch Mr. President. Well enough of pointing fingers what is done
is done. Now get out of the way and let our commanders, the NSA and our
other agencies do their jobs in protecting our great country and the
world. For the sake of our children and grandchildren and future
generations. The world is a safer place when the USA leads.. May God
Bless the USA and all those innocent victims in France.

here is what you do with all those fleeing the violence in the middle east. when they get to the borders of europe, you let the women and children in and you send every able bodied man back...with a weapon. let them fight, with assistance, for what is theirs.  whether it be the inner city vilolent groups that have taken over chicago , baltimore, etc or the many countries in the middle east, the PEOPLE of that area need to fight for what is theirs. they need to take it back, only when they unite with a common purpose to throw out the thugs/terrorists, will peace come. and, their efforts with come with death, sacrifice and hardships. but, when they win and they will win, because the rest of us will not let them lose, they will be less likely to ever let the 'bad' guys take over again.  there are 1.2 muslims in this world, we are constantly being told that only a small fraction are radicals. well, if it is 1%, that is still a hell of a lot of extremists. surely, the 99% can fight back the 1%, if they really want to. as was stated the other day in the debates, if one thinks fighting these folks on their turf is costly, see how much it costs to fight them here. just ask the people of paris.
