I think you'll find that Assads Syria was facing distinct problems before the west got involved, heavy drought, internal unrest, crop failure, the CIA couldn't have caused all of them.  |
Where did I mention the CIA is behind all this? or talked about the source of the problem? I didn't.
I'm perfectly aware that countries like Iraq, Syria, Iran and Lybia etc etc wheren't paradises when it comes to human rights and free speech and do as much with crop failure and heavy drought as the West does when it comes to help Africans from starving but at least people could go on with their daily lives.
I'm merely pointing out that our interfering with affairs that aren't ours haven't improved the situation in the middle east but made it a hell of a lot worse.
Look at Iraq and Libya for example....post removal of guy we West didn't like the countries are a total mess. Syria is also a mess because we're supporting a side which turned to be even worse then Assad who have absolutely no regard for human lives nor have any grain of morality in the things they do or plan to do.

Anyway, I think we're probably done talking about this here, there's just no point really. Just like Europe, no-one is going to agree on anything. I just hope that those who are dead-set against helping refugees never find themselves in a position where they are refugees themselves.

Europe is not to agree on anything, it's the UN's job to do what it stands for. Help the refugees by settling them temporarely across Europe, fight IS and make sure the people can return to their homeland and rebuild.
The answer is simple, the road will be a challenge.
