Maybe if we get our security act together and build the Wall, our tourism industry will benefit from believing America is one of the safest places to vacation.

I can’t imagine how bad the tourist business is in Paris these days. Shows you how the terrorism can severely cripple an economy. It’s not just the lives lost, it’s the fear and loss of business — pain that lasts a very long time.

The destruction of Paris has been a long time coming...

In 1993 my daughter spent a year of foreign study at Paris V (Sorbonne). While there returning late at night from school (foreign students had many socio-political events organized after normal school hours) she was trapped in a phone booth by 4 or 5 koranimals a long block from home in the 13th. Fortunately, a large group of men and women also returning home chased them off.

That was over 23 years ago!
