Blown up, sir!

Finally:

EU ministers have agreed to launch a sea and air mission that could in its later phases destroy vessels used by human traffickers, which have carried an estimated 1,800 migrants to their deaths in the Mediterranean this year.

The mission’s rules of engagement have still to be thrashed out and one diplomat described the deployment of such forces as “the next step in terms of operational details”. The level of collateral damage considered acceptable would also be discussed after the mission was up and running, he said.

Well, whaddya know... the Euros are showing a little spine. Be nice if we'd do the same.

Once loaded, the hulls of these boats are often crammed with people not visible from outside and Diedring said that there was a huge risk that boats could be targeted with people still on board.

“The solution to putting the smugglers out of business is to increase safe legal channels for migration,” he said. “It is ironic that people fleeing from war and persecution are being met with more of the same.”

No, you fatuous twit, it's an appropriate and proportional response to what amounts to an invasion by Muslims -- and Europe certainly doesn't need any more of those. The solution to putting these smugglers out of business is to blow them out of the water and KEEP blowing them out of the water until the risk outweighs the reward. It will also keep the rest of them from building their own boats. This is really, really basic psychology. Stuff you should have figured out along about the second grade.

Now if we can just get our own government to do the same with the Mexican border, we'll finally be making some progress in favor of civilization, instead of watching idly as stinking barbarians overrun it.

By the way, can you guess why all those people are running away from Libya and Syria? Because Barry and Hillary have completely destabilized the entire region with their amateurish dabbling in foreign policy. Maybe we should send Hillary over there to look into it? Nah, because at this point, what difference does it make?
