I don't know what the answer is, either. It's a complicated situation, and a scary one.jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-78872968342035239392015-09-07T18:11:58.186+01:002015-09-07T18:11:58.186+01:00This comment has been removed by the author.jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-72819080690126098272015-09-06T03:10:26.046+01:002015-09-06T03:10:26.046+01:00If our governments worked on humanitarian efforts ...If our governments worked on humanitarian efforts rather than wars, we would better use our resources...Sadly, that is not the mentality of the religious right or any conservative government of which I am aware, and with our own infrastructure falling apart, we are creating more poverty rather than less. I agree with your points but unless our national agenda changes, the role we assume on the world stage isn't likely to alter from what it has been.ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11376645220662546020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-51752469035660970642015-09-05T15:08:42.530+01:002015-09-05T15:08:42.530+01:00what a nightmare. i have no idea how to solve this...what a nightmare. i have no idea how to solve this either. thanks for this post. 37paddingtonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12400464105403622384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-34310367513517589512015-09-05T15:04:36.016+01:002015-09-05T15:04:36.016+01:00I feel so ignorant and helpless.

The US is directly responsible for destabilizing the region. we prop up one dictator after another until they stop giving us what we want and then we take them out, we sell arms to ANYBODY, we give them away, we abandon them when we leave because we don't want to pay the expense of bringing it all back home. All those people fighting over there no matter what side are fighting with our equipment. So I agree, the developed world needs to take these people in especially countries that sent soldiers, advisors, and equipment. ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5123631695572626256.post-3966338639181530962015-09-05T11:21:56.727+01:002015-09-05T11:21:56.727+01:00It is one of the intelligent post.

Regarding th...An intelligent and honest post Steve. Regarding this crisis I should like to point out that there is a very big difference between official figures and the reality on the ground. In Britain plenty of Syrians and Afghans have slipped past the official sheep counters unnoticed. And I would also ask WHY is Sweden taking in such a big number of refugees. Is it kindness or is there some underlying economic factor? Sweden is a vast, underpopulated country that struggles to exploit its true economic potential.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.com
