Any loss of life makes terrible news. In EU or US, nobody cares about the death of a Palestinian or a Syrian, but the death of a western soldier immediately makes headlines, and that's bad. You see the opposition asking about the reasons behind the sending of the troops, and calls to bring the boys home. I'm afraid no government from a leading NATO country is ready to accept that.

In that case, they could arm some of the local militias against the human traffickers, and seize the ports through them. (Just like the Kurds fighting against the Islamic State in Syria and Iraq). But the problem is that NATO always ends up supporting the wrong people, and these people will just take up the Western weapons, and then join the Islamic State.

Many more Europeans will die, if the current migrant stream doesnt stop, yet Europe is unwilling to commit itself to solution. It has all the tools, but lacks will to use them. You could call it dusk of democracy.

Send in the Americans if the Europeans are so scared of fighting. Grin
