Just talking to my Dad on the phone, and one of his friends--who does a lot of work for a group in Norway--says that the upside (if there is one) of these "DEMONstrations" by the Muslim barbarian horde is that their immigration policy (and that of the Danes, and the Swedes and if they have any brains, the French too) will finally be reformed to exclude entry to any more of these freaks.
He pointed out the irony that the Europeans--Northern European countries in particular--have been the most supportive (financially and politically) of the Arab perspective vs. the US and Israel in particular. My guess is that they've been so supportive for two reasons:
WRONG. WRONG. WRONG.
And here's the other good news. We have a chance to sit back on the sidelines of this clusterfuck to watch and learn, watch and learn. Think we can appease these maniacs? Turn on your TV and take a look at what "appeasement" hath wrought in France and Denmark. Think we can just sit out the fight totally? Tell that to the Austrians whose consulate was demolished right alongside that of the Danish just because it was there! Think there are "moderate" Muslims (or if these mythical creatures exist, that they have one shred of power)? Why is their outcry about as loud as the crickets in my yard?
Will we learn? I hope so, I sure hope so.
