Agreed, John. Unfortunately, the bad guys don't wear signs. How do you vet a guy from a mountaintop village that has no computers, and therefore no electronic records?
And how do you reflect on the Ohio State attack, and not conclude that Trump has a point? I'm not saying we abandon the refugees to be slaughtered. Let's work with other nations to make it safe for them to build lives for themselves in the Middle East. Don't ask me how you do that. But the answer isn't to open our doors and let huge numbers of them come here. This kid did well here, got himself into a fine university. Didn't stop him from hating us enough to want to kill us.
