Bernie Sanders Decries ‘Barbarism’ of Brussels Attacks

Source: NYTimes

Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont, who is running for the Democratic presidential nomination, condemned the “cowardly” terrorist attacks in Brussels on Tuesday, saying in a statement:

“We offer our deepest condolences to the families who lost loved ones in this barbaric attack and to the people of Brussels who were the target of another cowardly attempt to terrorize innocent civilians. We stand with our European allies to offer any necessary assistance in these difficult times.

“Today’s attack is a brutal reminder that the international community must come together to destroy ISIS. This type of barbarism cannot be allowed to continue.”

First, thank you tomm2thumbs for your OP! I noticed the lack of any bellicosity!! No "we're going to fight and kill, etc". Now is the time to mourn those who lost their lives, not talk about taking others. He is so refreshing and clear minded.
