with yet another islamic state attack, this time in Belgium, our leaders better start

proposing serious solutions - more than the standard - we stand with the victims, but will not be terrorized words.

Innocent people are being slaughtered by strangers and even by acquantances that suddenly become radicalized through the internet or becoming more devout. Cruz and trump are proposing extreme measures that will attract people who are becoming desperate and weary of being targets. If our decent leaders don't do something that starts to work, I'm afraid indecent leaders like Trump are going to become president in November. then I fear for our planet.

Not just the ones in the USA and Western Europe. They are awful and extremist fundamentalists that are hurting too many. Not to mention other al qaeda groups like Al Shababb and others.

many in so many places.

Thank you for not getting offended at my reply, it was in no way meant that way but to add more to their awfulness. I find it so sad and scary, the trumpites who don't give a shit about lives lost, people harmed, until it is local to them. We've lots of scary people in our country who would be happy to follow DAESH's example. I hope this makes sense, I don't think I'm explaining myself very wel, am in agreement.

some [space aliens cuz I'm crazy, butt we will KILLUM "Welcome to Earth Motherfucker" aka Independence Day (the movie)] other unlicensed communications sources might be more dangerous than the internet... Somebody in China said John Kerry was "naive" about the internet; but he is totally in touch with satellites coordinating "Swift-boats" in Vietnam, especially after Republicans - like Nixon - illegally eavesdropped-fm on the spychiatrist of Danial Daniel Ellsberg and then "swiftboated" him!
