The Paris Attacks and Europes Security Challenges | Episode 24

Published: Nov. 17, 2015, 2:48 a.m.

b'William J. Tucker joins me again for a high level look at the Paris attacks and\\xa0the impact that instability, chiefly in Syria, will have on the region. Failing states and the mass migration of refugees will continue to put immense pressure on dozens of governments. There is no framework, or level of response, that will allow intervening parties to resolve this problem anytime soon. So how do we cope with a security challenge that may persist for a decade - or multiple decades? This is the reality that we must face. The conflict in Syria and Iraq is not a crisis that can be "managed." It is going to demand more of us, and our governments, than we would like. But as the\\xa0saying goes - the enemy gets a vote.
