Lol, I think mralstoner is our new prof.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

I think the EU could have been saved (maybe still could) if they had managed to better coordinate and communicate between the various law enforcement and intelligence agencies. That would have required a great deal of horizontal management which is much more difficult that the vertical management needed in the US between the local, FBI, and CIA/NSA. I cannot imagine French military intelligence sharing information with a local police chief in Latvia.
All that said, I believe nations must choose between having open borders and generous public assistance programs. Having both has become a financial disaster in the USA. Why should the EU be any different? When you make yourself a magnet for third-world populations that do not want to integrate with the existing first-world culture then you are destined to become third-world yourself.

I don't think the public assistance programs are what's causing the financial disasters in USA. At least not the ones helping the poor.

France named Iran as an ally in the war against Islamic Fundamentalism. That is pure insanity. They have been at war with the US since 1979. They are every bit as much of a threat to world peace as ISIS. Probably more now and for certain when they have the bomb.
