Anti-semitism & racism: the 800 pound gorilla in the room for Europe

Another day, another anti-semitic attack in Europe. On the eve of the 60th anniversary of the D-Day invasion, Europe continues to battle with anti-Semitism. I applaud Chirac's effort to clamp down on the criminal elements who are committing these disgusting attacks though I still wonder when Europe will come up with a serious, long term plan for integration. There are many disturbing trends in Europe with racism and it is high time someone gets serious about the problem. So far in government circles, this issue has been the 800 pound gorilla in the room that nobody wants to seriously address. How many more violent attacks will it take for somebody to get serious about it? For me, dealing with this issue is a critical piece of the real war on terror.
