Tell the Belgians, not me. I'm not under attack.

BTW...I don't see you fighting.

Thanks. I'm sure the Belgians will take your words under advisement.

At a minimum they should shut down the "after hours" bomb making parties. 9pm to 5am is when TATP is flowing.

You're in the Philly Metro area.
How would you like it if Belgium or some other foreign country sent in troops to "take down" Camden, North Philly, and Chester?

We CAN threaten to pull NATO out of Belgium unless they do something. The Bush Administration threatened to pull NATO out of Brussels unless the Belgians dropped war crimes charges against Powell, Rumsfeld, and Franks. Those charges were dropped ASAP

It is not the US' place to take down Molenbeek.

Damn shame that they did.

The US has been under attack by Islam, and their attacks have increased after 16 years of apology politics. Your city/town may not be under attack - yet. But those terrorists in Belgium can plot attacks from there and hit anywhere in the world.

When gun control, higher education, or Healthcare are brought up, I don't see people telling those from outside the US to mind their own business. Yet when it comes to national security, Americans are not allowed to discuss the issues outside their borders?

Seems to me more of a tactic to dissuade a tough topic with no easy solution for those with a certain narrative

How long can we afford to hang on to this fantasy? Molenbeek is truly a no go zone in Belgium. You can't have a country where entire neighborhoods are essentially autonomous regions. Time to go door to door, take names and find out who lives in every apartment and generally find out "what the hell is going on". It's time to take down Molenbeek.
Why stop at Molenbeek? I think the Devil's island type of punishment should be re-instated. When a Jihadist is identified anywhere in the world every living relative of the Jihadist should be sent there(to whatever isolated spot in the world would suffice). It may be extreme, but it would go a lot further to solve the problem. I don't care if they are innocent. First, it would give the Jihadist pause for causing his relatives pain. Second, by giving exemption to relatives who turn in the Jihadists, it would help rid the world of them.

I am not heartless, just pragmatic. I didn't cause the problem. I am just offering up a viable solution.

I love how people who refuse to educate themselves about certain situations try over and over to squelch the discussions those more educated are having.

It's like it's not enough for them to remain naive and ignorant, they don't want anyone discussing something they cannot quite grasp.
