(A few) Reasons why the E.U. is having terror issues that appear to be out of control.

(A few) Reasons why E.U. is having terror issues that appear to be out of control.  

The most important reason is the European Union's "borderless" policy.  One of the pathways into Europe,  is via Turkey.  After folks make the journey,  they can travel from European member nation to nation without papers,  or searches,  or the need for passports.  The only exception to this reality,  is during a threat period such as the current terror threat sweeping through the region.  "  . . . . .  where a threat to public policy or national security has been identified Member States are permitted to reintroduce temporary border controls"  (europa.eu., here). 

My issue with this is is the fact that when danger strikes,  liberal leadership resorts to commonsense and the way of the Right   . . . . .    at least,  in this case.  And Libs are making the identical mistake,  in our country.  Guaranteed,  when Evil via Jihad becomes a frequent headline in our country,  the demand to close the borders will come into play and action will result.  That time may have come, now.  We will know soon enough with the November elections.  

I hasten to add this question:  If we revert to border enforcement when in trouble,  why not make it a matter of national policy?  Note this: there are no good reasons for not doing so. 

More than the bordless policies of the Left,  Europe has to deal with the fact that Libs do not believe intel-sharing is the preferred way of their world.  Their thinking is this:  To share intelligence information is to hasten reaction against the immigrant community,  and,  deny them "of their rights."  In Belgium and its bordering nations (The Netherlands, France and German),  there are 16 police agencies,  none of which are allowed to share intel.  A number of the terrorists involved in the attacks of the past year,  were known terrorists to some agencies but not to others,  precisely because law enforcement was not allowed to share this critical information.  

Finally,  for the sake of this post,  it is a fact that none of these countries spend more than 1% of the annual budget  (tied to GDP rates) .  Compare that to the 16% spent on our military and international security assistance PLUS state, county and city spending on our national police forces. 

Now you know.
