At least 13 police raids took place in Brussels today. 9 were arrested, 5 have already been released.

I've seen four official ISIS videos (I'm not linking to them) of the Belgian attacks released in the last two days. One common theme is there is more to come.

    country. Tensions between the French dialect speaking Wallons and the Flemish speakers have existed since the country was founded in 1830. And guess what, religious differences figured large in the situation.

    During one of my trips to Brussels...'68 or '69... one of the separatist groups set off a bomb outside, if I remember right, outside the US AID office. One person was killed. And the bombers published an apology...no one was supposed to be killed. Weird, eh?

    How times have changed.

    Undoubtedly the lack of a common language has contributed to the problems in Beligum. Assimilation is hard. Even harder when you can't understand each other.
