Europe must live up to the challenge of an upheaval that has forced hundreds of thousands of refugees to flee Syria, where everyone including Iran, Russia and the West must seek a political solution, French President Francois Hollande said on Wednesday.
Speaking alongside German Chancellor Angela Merkel to the European Parliament in Strasbourg, eastern France, Hollande said the risk of failure was "total war" and that Europe, if slow to grasp the scale of the refugee exodus, had now made a start.
As for Syria, Hollande reiterated the Paris line that any solution for Syria had to be based on an alternative to President Bashar al-Assad.
"What's happening in Syria concerns Europe because what is going on there will determine the balances of power in the region for a long time," he said.
"If we let the recent religious confrontations between Shiites and Sunnites get worse then don't think that we won't be affected. It will be a total war, a war that will also affect our territories and we must act."

Hollande thinks that he and Europes current crop of leaders can solve the Sunni vs Shia conflict?
Best of luck to him with that.

You geniuses already achieved catastrophic results by letting them into your countries. I just hope the youth, the nationalists and euroskeptics rise up and put all of you out on your backsides.

We need to do the same here, and have everyone who aided and abetted the rise of ISIS and all similar groups put before tribunals, as they too are terrorists - even if all they used was a pen and a phone.
Iceland did it to their miscreants. So can we. Yes we can.
Total war? It will go WAY beyond that.
In fact, this is going to get so bad that God himself (in the form of His Son) will have to step in to keep us from turning the entirety of this rock (Earth) into an inhabitable wasteland.
BTW, this will not go well for the followers and descendants of Ishmael (i.e., Muslims).
/read the Bible
Total war is probably he ONLY way that the infestation of a cult religion will be excised.
uninhabitable*
So why is this happening instead???
What do you think Lucy?
Can’t fix stupid. The war has already come to the EU. It crossed the open borders and is being bedded by Merkel et al.
What an idiot.
Will France be first to launch their SLBM's?
Now we'll have to send in John Kerry and the A Team to negotiate a peace deal!
Send them all to France.
Who knows what to think of anything Francois Hollande says. The man tends to say one thing, then the next day he says the opposite.
He appears to have the intelligence of a paper cup.
