War always has one common consequence: Refugees or Immigrants as they have become known since the Spring Revolution has spread across North Africa and The Middle East.
What was initially seen as bringing democracy to Autocratic countries (Libya, Iraq, Syria, etc.) has resulted in a tidal wave of unexpected immigration from these worn-town and lawless countries. Some may wonder if such inherently tribal-based societies are not better off with the firm hand of a dictator: history has now shown us that despite horrendous and despicable human rights abuses by the likes of such strong arm leaders like Gadhaffi and Hussein, they nevertheless maintained control over very disparate and conflicting tribes.
Refugees were a given for the war-planners. What was not expected though was from these war-torn countries was that these refugees were not content to stay in refugee camps near the borders of neighboring countries – those with the means saw that Fortress Europe was a better prospect. Who can blame them: miserable conditions in camps – or the prospect of falling under the EU’s liberal Human Rights legislation with a hope for a future.
The problem of course is the total onslaught of the Migrants through the borders of the weaker EU states – those closer to the conflict zones – Italy, Greece, Hungary. Literally overwhelmed, these border states had no choice but to allow the Immigrants entry to the Eurozone – after all – they are in-transit, Germany is the destination of choice.
This unheralded influx of people, with little or no checks will cause future problems – who is the “good” Migrant and who is the “bad” Migrant? Few, if any checks to establish identity / past history is currently being undertaken. The potential results could be catastrophic for Western Europe in the form of sleeper cells being planted by ISIS or other defined terrorist organizations – it would be remiss to think that such a chaotic opportunity would not be taken advantage of by ISIS.
It is something that Western Intelligence agencies need to look at and perhaps are in a quandary of how to counter this potentially hidden threat and balancing the demands of true humanitarian assistance.
