Europe's migrant problem

[Schroeder]

@Penguin
I think you are spot on. The politicians never had to see the negative aspects of their actions. Maybe they are even completely unaware of them like the kings of centuries past who had no idea that their people were starving...
The lack of information might be the foundation for the completely irrational policy we see today. Another problem is that some parties have preached multiculturalism for decades and that the West is the root of all evil and they can't just turn around and admit that they have lived their lives in a dogma which can't change like religions can't change without losing their power as it means to admit having been wrong. So they have to keep going in that direction even if it means suicide in the long run. Since Merkel has created her own dogma a couple of months ago and seems unwilling to correct it things can go down south pretty fast as the people are fed up by now and the New Year's Eve crimes were just what pushed things over the edge. A lot of people want answers to the crisis and more importantly: consequences. Yet the whitewashing has already began again and I highly doubt that anything important will change and that is what feeds the Right wing extremists. So either Merkel and the other morons finally get their act together (For once I wish they would listen to Seehofer who I usually can't stand) or things will get really ugly at the next election (let alone in the decades to come when we'll have to deal with the fallout of today's idiocy).
