I couldn't decide whether this might belong in Comedy Central, International News or elsewhere. I thought you'd enjoy it here.

BTW, today is the last day that you have full access to the WSJ sans a subscription.

Let no one say the European Union is soft on the war on terror. Its latest weapon is a "non-emotive lexicon . . . to avoid linking Islam and terrorism." Impossible, you say? Well, if anyone can talk about the slaughter of innocents without emotion while obscuring the killers' motives, it would be the sages in Brussels.

This is the same strategy used by our current government to eliminate the illegal alien invasion... You simply retag it with a new name and it is no longer a problem... Illegal Aliens become Guest workers and the stigma of blatant violation of our sovereign borders suddenly goes away...

If it plays in Washington, why not in Brussels...

One wonders what term future generations will use to define this age of irresponsibility on the parts of the Western governments... or possibly the then extinct western governments...
