Obviously France has vetting problems. As do many European countries. So our safety will depend on how good a job other countries do. That makes me nervous.

I think it's even greater than that. The terrorists in Paris were born in France and Belgium. The terrorists at Fort Hood and San Bernardino were born in the U.S. We're talking home-grown terrorism and not just some schlub trying to sneak in from Syria. Trying to prevent each and every Muslim from entering the U.S. is impossible, and Trump is a fool if he honestly thinks he can do it. The only way to combat Islamic terrorism in the U.S. is through police work and intelligence work. But none of the candidate talk about prompting improvements in those areas. I wonder why?

Good point. They all focus on threats external to the country, even though we have a recent example of a citizen terrorist.

Although Trump and Carson did talk of investigating mosques, which would involve local and perhaps federal law enforcement.

Well ok then I guess we have to give up since absolutely nothing can be done.
