By keeping a lid on nutbars whatever colour or mindset they have to be makes the world a better place.
Call me naive, but I think eliminating situations in which nutbars can flourish is a better option than simply keeping a lid on them. However, one calls for long-term planning, understanding what motivates nutbars and possibly even compromise; the second just takes ever bigger guns.
Most are fleeing a war zone and some terrorists embed themselves with the refugees for safe passage, apparently there was a gestapo agent found in the 1939 boat that got turned away.
In Europe, I can see that embedding terrorists within refugees who can travel overland as a workable strategy, although I'm not sure how much evidence there is that's happening. For countries which select refugees from camps where they've been housed for years at a time and undergo several levels of vetting, not so much.
That's interesting about the Gestapo agent. Was he trying to escape the war, or to become more hands-on?
The key with countries is to keep them as weak as possible and the USA is quite efficient at it.
An interesting viewpoint, certainly, and we see where that has lead us in the Middle East. I suspect that people don't generally take kindly to being kept 'weak', and especially so when it's a foreign entity. History does suggest it only works for a relatively short time. On the other hand, I don't know that humans have tried any other method of 'getting along' other than war, conquering and oppression - aka keeping actual and potential opponents weak.
