It is highly unfortunate, but what has occured, in my mind, is directly
the fault of cultural relativists who have coddled and sympathized these
pocket fascists for decades. The 70's and 80's saw mideast terrorists
strike Europe, and most european nations responded by imposing broad
police powers as well as paying off sponsor states like Libya and Syria
with aid, shelter, and trade. It isn't an accident that the terrorists
that attacked us were able to establish bona fides in allegedly freedom
loving states like Germany, France, Spain, and England, and from there
springboard into the US.
