German Chancellor Angela Merkel's celebrated open-door policy encouraged the migration of more than 1 million refugees in 2015, and hundreds of thousands more in 2016. It was lauded as a courageous triumph of humanitarianism. Even in 2016's year-end accolades, Merkel has been given hosannas for "keeping the doors ajar."

But after last week's Berlin attack, in which a man — suspected to be a Tunisian migrant — intentionally plowed an 18-wheeler into a crowded Christmas market, killing 12 and injuring dozens more, it's fair to say that Merkel's celebrated policy has actually been a disaster. After all, "keeping the doors ajar" is precisely how a naive person learns of the bad intentions of an intruder. And Merkel is learning a hard lesson, indeed. She said that welcoming this enormous wave of refugees was the only way to be true to "European values." But the current wave of terrorism and the enormous fear of crime and disorder in European cities is proving mortally dangerous not just to her own party, but to the European Union itself.

Problems can partly be blamed on their multiparty system.

Voters SHOULD have a simple choice; status quo including hordes of dangerous "refugees," or stop the insanity.

She's not the only one.  It would seem European governments have a death wish and their politicians are making sure it happens.

She is destroying Germany, the rest of Europe is quite willingly following in her footprints of their own accord.

Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Italy,er, no, parts of Europe are not following Merkel's lead. Italy is in a tough position because they are at the front of where so many refugees land.

I'd say parts of Europe are in difficult to very difficult positions, Germany, France, Sweden, Belgium, maybe the UK.

Europe has been a Socialist basketcase for decades. The EU was created to prop up that mess by shuffling money around to make it all appear viable. Merkel isn't the cause of what is happening now. She is the symptom.
