#2 N Africa is a logical hot spot for terror training.

We have no heavy presence like we do in Iraq or Afghanistan yet Al-Qaida and Islamist move freely.

Some terror veterans are hiding out in N Africa, attempting to train the next generation.

#3 My sympathy meter remains pegged at zero where EUrope is concerned.

If they're not willing to get off their dead asses and defend themselves and their culture, why should I?

It'll be a shame to lose the art in the great museums of Europe, but maybe somebody there can get most of it out before the islamonazis completely take over.... :-(

#4 Perhaps Europe should be creating a foreign legion filled with angry Islamics currently filling their prison. A paradrop over North Africa (sans parachutes) would send a powerful message that European soldiers are not afraid to die either and I have to say it would probably freak out the bad guys something fierce.

Yeah, just kidding. Sort of.

#5 Maybe the French with their new President can finally renew the French Foreign Legion back to what it was BEFORE De Gaulle gutted it : 25,000 troops which included its own air wing with fighters and transports, a true mechanized division, and what was effectively a helioborne brigade. Fill it mainly with Balkan discontents from Serbia and the like, and then let it loose against the Islamonazis in Francephile zone of Africa.
