POLITICIANS CONTINUE TO FIDDLE AS PARIS BURNS

We watch in amazement as candlelight vigils are held, the national anthem is sung, and 20 bombs are dropped...but no real plan is going to emerge. We must  be compassionate to the refugees.  We will soon be breaking out the ribbons to wear and place on our cars. Obama says we must stay the course for the long haul, or at least to January 2017.  He says our policy is working, ISIS is contained.  We must take in more refugees, to not do so would be un-American.

There is a better solution. If Obama was a better student of history, he could just look at the later days of the eastern Roman Empire. The Huns were at the gate - in fact they were over and through the gate. They were a rowdy bunch that did as they pleased...with the treasure...the women...and anything else they desired. It started to be a bad routine. They took everything and burned the place down, then wanted to be paid to leave; it was called tribute.  Eventually the remnants of the Roman Empire and the Huns agreed that if the non-Huns just paid 2000 lbs of gold a year to the Huns, there wouldn't be any messes to clean up.

Now here is the perfect plan for the likes of Obama and  Hollander ...why not call ISIS in and explain to them the marvelous idea of "insurance" (the Mob used to call it protection). The idea is that the western countries could agree to pay ISIS an "insurance premium" once a year, or at least until the present office holders are out of office. This way they could be "The Mideastern Combined Insurance Co." The west agrees to pay several tons of gold or 5 or 10 billion a year and ISIS guarantees no terrorism or other havoc from them or their associates, like Boko Haram, Al Qaeda etc.  No uncomfortable headlines in the paper, no damage to citizens lives and property. 

The politicians could probably be able to convince the learned masses that the Barbarians would all soon become fat and engaged with the finer things of life and would not be a threat to anyone.  Maybe Obama could even earn another Noble Peace Prize.
