| PIERS MORGAN: When it comes to terror, isn’t it time we started listening seriously to Trump? |
| 2016-03-23 |
| [DAILYMAIL.CO.UK] How many more? That’s all I could think this morning as news broke of yet another ISIS terror attack, this time in Brussels. How many more innocent men, women and kiddies are going to be blown to pieces by these murderous bastards? How many more airports, train stations, sports stadiums, restaurants or concert halls will be obliterated in a hail of suicide bombs and bullets? How many more world leaders will wring their hands on national television afterwards and spout pointless platitudes about the ‘poor brave victims’ and ‘heroic emergency services’? How many taunting, gleeful claims of responsibility will the despicable perpetrators of these evil crimes be able to issue? I’m sick of this, aren’t you? Sick of feeling sick about such endless, senseless barbarism. And the worst thing about it is that I see no end. The inherent problem which causes it, chaotic war-torn instability in the Middle East, is getting worse, not better; just as the financial and military resource of the enemy is growing greater, not reducing. Yet just as the world is crying out for strong decisive leadership, there is none. America has a demob happy President B.O. eeking out his last few months in office. A man whose infamous ‘leading from behind’ philosophy to foreign policy has been partly responsible for the war in Syria raging uncontrollably for five years -- allowing fundamentalism to ferment. Obama has zero interest in doing anything tangible to really deal with ISIS. This is now parked in the tray marked ‘next president’s problem.’ Europe, meanwhile, is splintering at the seams, ravaged by an unprecedented migration crisis that nobody seems to have a clue how to handle. German chancellor Angela Merkel ...current chancellor of Germany. She was educated in East Germany when is was still run by commies, but in 1989 got involved with the growing democracy movement when the Berlin Wall fell. Merkel is sometimes referred to by Germans as Mom... ’s decision to let a million La Belle France, reeling from two horrendous attacks in Gay Paree, is understandably highly fearful of yet more terror coming its way. Belgium officials effectively conceded today that they have no real way to protect themselves against the ISIS threat. A fact surely born out by the fact that today’s onslaught in Brussels happened right when the city most expected it, following the capture of Gay Paree attacks suspect Saleh Abdeslam three days ago. Britannia, surely a target anytime soon, is on red alert but its warring politicians are too distracted by the upcoming EU referendum in June to pay anything more than lame lip service to terrorism. So nobody seems to be doing anything concrete to stop ISIS, or even suggesting a new way to do so given the spectacular lack of success to date. Well almost nobody. By coincidence, I had an interview scheduled today with the world’s most controversial man, Donald Trump, for my UK show, Good Morning Britannia. It was set up a couple of weeks ago, but the timing was eerily prescient. Here is one man who definitely has a plan to deal with ISIS terrorism. Several plans in fact. The problem is that people don’t like them. Well, a lot of people don’t anyway. Trump, current front-runner for the Republican nomination, wants to hit ISIS ‘so hard they never recover’. (As he told me: ‘You've got to take them out and you've got to take them out harshly and you've got to take them out fast.’) He also wants a short-term ban on Muslims entering the U.S. until, as he puts it, ‘we figure out what the hell is going on?’ And he wants to torture suspects like Abdeslam with techniques like water-boarding to try and extract information about future attacks. Oh, and he wants to build a giant wall to stop illegal im |

| #4 Piers will change his mind in a week. The real problem is two-fold and they are related. One is radical Jihad, and the other is self-loathing among the Liberals. Piers wants one solved without having to deal with the other but that won't work. |

| #3 Don't expect him to give up the deep irrational hatred of colonialism and American intervention when it plays and pays. You are living with the consequences of the anti-Western cancer that has metastasized through the intelligentsia. For Europe, it's beyond recovery. For America, we'll see. |
