Donald Trump Finds New City to Insult: Brussels
Note the Date of article -January 28th, 2016.
LONDON — He incensed Paris and London by saying that some of their neighborhoods were so overrun with radicals that the police were too scared to enter.He raised Scottish tempers by threatening to pull the plug on his investments there, including his luxury golf courses, if British politicians barred him from entering Britain.
Now Donald J. Trump has upset the already beleaguered people of Belgium, calling its capital, Brussels, “a hellhole.â€
Asked by the Fox Business Network anchor Maria Bartiromo about the feasibility of his proposal to bar foreign Muslims from entering the United States, Mr. Trump argued that Belgium and France had been blighted by the failure of Muslims in these countries to integrate.
“There is something going on, Maria,†he said. “Go to Brussels. Go to Paris. Go to different places. There is something going on and it’s not good, where they want Shariah law, where they want this, where they want things that — you know, there has to be some assimilation. There is no assimilation. There is something bad going on.â€

Back in the 1950s, then president Eisenhower commissioned a study to determine why the Middle East hates America. It's conclusion was that they hate us because we set up puppet governments to suppress them and steal their natural resources, and the study concluded that was exactly what we should do because it was in our economic and military interests.
The idiots in the military who did that cost-benefit analysis got it way wrong. Modern terrorism is the direct consequence of their faulty business plan. They didn't have the intelligence to foresee all the hidden costs of using military force for corrupt interests. It's time we rethink this strategy.
