When or will we ever learn our lesson?

To the Editor:

When or will we ever learn our lesson?

The recent terrorist attack in Belgium following San Bernardino, Paris and Boston is another in an ever increasing number of attacks to come world wide as ISIS continues to grow stronger.

Fact:  Europe has chosen diversity and inclusion for many years. The truth is that they did little to help make “inclusion” a reality.  Today there are many areas in Europe that are in fact ghettos housing many immigrants that do not want to be “included” and want their own sharia law.  England, France and Belgium are at the forefront.

Fact:  Europe and NATO have failed to meet their contractual/treaty obligation to spend a minimum amount on defense. They no longer have a sufficient, effective, capable military to protect themselves and/or their citizens.

Fact:  Since 2008 the American Obama administration has chosen to treat worldwide Islamic Terrorism as a law enforcement issue rather than a war. The American administration cannot even say the word.
