After Brussels Attacks, US Must Not Repeat Europe’s Mistakes

Posted by Raw Editor on March 23, 2016 in politics |

The first question security professionals around the world ask after a horrific terrorist attack is: What’s next? The second question is: How to stop it?Today, Americans woke up to news that Europe had been hit again, with reports of two bombs in Brussels that killed and injured scores. The attacks come only days after the arrest in the city of the perpetrators of the terrorist strike in Paris last year.A top concern here will be that the terror campaigns being orchestrated there could be directed here. A precedent exists for that. A core of the participants in the 9/11 attack organized a terrorist cell in Hamburg, Germany.If there are cells in Europe interested in attacking, one of their chief challenges will be traveling here. The U.S. has been focused on thwarting terrorist travel to the U.S. since the attacks on New York and Washington in 2001. The danger was a major subject of investigation for the 9/11 commission.What the U.S. has done since 9/11 has been to focus on finding and stopping terrorists who might try to travel here. That is a strategy that makes sense.
