The Trump guy says to restrict all muslim immigration and visas, POTUS says there can't be a religious test. But we could severely restrict immigration and visitors from "terrorist source countries", which BTW just coincidentally happen to be populated by large muslim majorities. As far as refugees, there has always been a test for those subjected to severe religious persecution.
After a few hundred more years (like it took Europe to get over the religious bloodletting) we could lift the quarantine when those countries have gotten past the craziness.

It was basically like continuous warfare among various parties, not entirely unlike Europe with the exception that Europe seems to have finally gotten past most of it though you have Pootie keeping the pot stirred and the occasional dust up involving the religion of peace after the commie so got booted. The continuous warfare continues among the various flavors of mohametism now, not entirely unlike the past, and against the infidels too. It will likely continue until more strong men reach some stasis, but you have Israel in the mix that will continue to grate on them, among other factors. I get the sense they (the various flavors) are all basically incompatible with each other and the larger world though some small fraction appears to coexist more or less among the more civilized parts of the world and keep their issues in check, more or less. --R (sent from my miniPad) On Dec 7, 2015, at 7:47 PM, clay via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: My feeling would be to back out of all manner of engagements and reposition to bases far from the toxic environments. Allow the places of trouble to go to hell in a handbasket, while providing a barrier to contain it. The fires will burn out in time. Those who survive will be given assistance to rebuild. Worked wonders for Europe under Marshall plan. Japan came back strong once they stopped fighting and calmed down. Much like with ebola, we quarantine the mess, contain the infection, which may take a few innocent individuals, but will burn out the most deadly characters in the end. Nobody has the intestinal fortitude to allow the fever to do its job though. The Balkans could have been an example, but outsiders became involved, so everybody joined in. The toxin remains in the region, and will spark again because the fuel remains. The same trouble has been what kept the Middle East so volatile. The trouble makers get out and spread the infection. If we could trap these vectors and let them burn through the population, the tinder would be gone, the immune response would take over, and trouble would be dealt with swiftly in future by locals. clay 2002 s430 - Victor, a Stately & well tailored chap 1974 450sl - Frosch - Two tone green 1976 300D - Blei Vanst - it looks silvery 1972 220D - Gump - She was green, simple and ran 1995 E300D - Gave her life to save me against a Dame in a SUV POS 1987 SDL - Beware Nigerian Scammers > On Dec 7, 2015, at 9:55 AM, rogerhga--- via Mercedes wrote: > > Mao, > I've always been an advocate of "bomb them until they surrender", but not putting "boots on the ground" until they do surrender. Yes, you may kill a few "innocent" people but that never stopped the bombing of Germany and Japan during WWII. If my country were truly at risk, I'd lock and load and be ready to go. But NOT for a bunch of POS politicians that can't grab their butts with both hands.
