What do you want to change? You can't stop this with "boots on the ground". You cant keep it out; it's already here and there. There will be no letup until we have political and religious peace in the middle east and prosperity for the millions of poor, desperate people on the earth and there is no prospect of that happening any time soon.

Terror attacks in France and Belgium and it's Obama's fault, easy to complain but solutions are more complicated. I think they got Belgium's attention the last few months but terror attacks like this are very difficult to stop.

It's no one person's fault. And the ultimate blame goes to the terrorists themselves.

But it's something that requires great leadership to mitigate. And that is something we haven't had.

Turn your sarcasm meter on.

I want to ban all refugees coming in fom any terrorist countries.
And I think we should adapt super super strict vetting for any other Muslims coming in.
I'd rather err on the side of being unPC than have Americans killed and maimed by Muslims.

We have little control over how countries like Belgium handle terrorism but they have stepped it up, lately they have been criticized for going to far with police policies. We are only as good as our intelligence and once again this happened right under their noses, the terror suspect from France was living a few hundred yards from his parents home for the last several months.

It will take a dirty bomb to wake up these world leaders.
Until then just expect speeches, candles and marches.

Unfortunately we are still paying for our foolish invasion of Iraq. We're most likely not done paying for it yet either as no one seems to have a good solution of how to fix the turmoil we unleashed on the region.
