Lève-toi, lutte contre la tyrannie!

Pier A of Brussels Airport. By Jérôme (Source)

I have been there many times, the first time on the 2nd of January, 1992, arriving early in the morning after a long flight over the Atlantic from JFK in New York. Arriving for what was a three year assignment which we extended to seven and a half. The horror which occurred there is no surprise to anyone paying attention to what's going on in the world. (See here.)

I will not comment at length on these events for they sicken me, they enrage me. How many people think still that we are not at war? How many people still believe that this scourge, this plague can be negotiated with?

The barbarians are through the gates and are rampaging through the halls of civilization, they portend a new Dark Age if we don't stand up to them.

Meanwhile, that incompetent in the White House, whom the voters elected, twice for crying out loud, poses for pictures in front of a mural dedicated to a murderer. He preens for the photographers with a dictator. Quelle parodie!

My heart goes out to my Belgian comrades, to the people I fondly remember from my time in Europe I say, "Courage mes braves, vous n'êtes pas seul! Moed mijn dapperen, je bent niet alleen!"

No, you are not alone, those who cherish freedom will remember, those who perpetrated this atrocity will suffer. Let the negotiations begin...
