They don’t set off bombs in European town squares and shoot up crowds of children.

The Sunnis, and the Saudis in particular, actively fund groups like Al-Qaeda and ISIS; Both of which do just that.

It’s a fair trade. The decision here really isn’t that hard.

A lot of it has to do with the fact that our alliances in the Middle East are in particular really lovely

Set Saudi Arabia on fire and realign with Iran

They are much more receptive to reform and have a much better educated class

its interesting with the deal that just happened, isreal is getting tense because it might shift the balance of power regionally to the sunni dominated states. so who knows, isreal might shriek autistically and bomb everyone around them sometime soon just to demonstrate their strength in the face of a very strong saudi.

but i do agree, iran has it's problems, but they have traditional value system much more aligned with western ones than the monarchist wahhabists.

as far as domestic policy goes - some obvious things like severing connections with saudi, slowing immigration to an utter trickle and barring entry by radical preachers, but i think something that's more difficult to design but equally important is to stop dissembling and equivocating about how integration is meant to occur. western countries are ruled by men, not god, and in our countries it is the law of the state that prevails.

If we're taking in someone from another country we're allowed to scrutinize them. If you don't understand why that's different then you need to think hard about how immigration works.

We're stuck with shitheads born here and have to make due with poo poo like stricter laws for cutting up genitals, hate crime statutes for racism/homophobic attacks, and etc.

Terrorists are like bullies. If you engage them they keep going. Most of the people have already been caught. There isn't anything left to fight for. Now people need to heal. It was terrible what happened but since we don't have a time machine we can't do anything except heal and mourn. Bad things just happen.
After incidents like this people resort to extreme measures and this troubling because there is an election happening in parliament.

They're just like bullies.

i hope you're right, but i would be careful with calling them incompetent - the atrocities in yemen would be diminished if SA is seen as comical. the houthis are no angels, but the disproportionate amount of force used against them in yemen made me wary of SAs ambitions.

now they have a $110 billion arms deal? they are gearing up for something, as that is literally more than the entire budget the russian military spends per year.

4chan calls it's moderators "Janitors", and they usually only delete threads that are blatantly off topic and posts with pornography/illegal material. The opposite of heavy handed.

Maybe we should do that here, complete with replacing moderator's title with janitor.
