Paris

Clearly the battlefield has moved from the wars of yesterday.  Before you had to "go to war," whereas now it comes to you.  And the citizen becomes the reluctant soldier.  And how exactly do you fight an enemy that doesn't give a nickel for their own life? 

Close the borders, don't close the borders.  Common sense would say to close them.  But then people feel bad about the genuine refugees who have no place to go.   The President plans to allow a large number of refugees in next month.  We cannot be so ignorant to believe that some terrorists will not be in that group. 

Some say that if we had guns, the terrorists would quickly be shot down.  Then lets all carry guns.  This is a war after all isn't it?  Maybe that's not the answer either.

There are so many analysts on cable news channels these days that go on and on about the situation and I have to wonder if they are just there to hear themselves talk on the subject, as if they have any idea.  We listen to them and maybe nod our heads but that's where it ends.  Maybe talking about it makes some people feel better.  The President talks about it, Hilary talks about it, the GOP candidates give their 2 cents about it. 

To be continued...
