Not just the US, but also europe and russia. If you ask me, it isn't THAT important for now if Assad stays president or not. Just get rid of ISIS first, try to bring some stability into the region and argue about the details afterwards. Until nothing happens in this regard, refugees will keep coming and there's no perfect way of handling all of the people. But at the very least, every single refugee should be treated as a human being. That said, as a country consisting of 99 % immigrants in the first place, it would be nice if the US started to take in refugees AT ALL. =P |
So much this; let's stop creating refugees to begin with. And this entire mindset of "we'll just set them to menial labor with low pay" thinking is exactly the type of mentality that causes people to shrug at these conflicts, their lives aren't worth anything to us.
A friend of mine asked me why no one cares about children being bombed in Syria or people getting wiped out in suicide raids in Lebanon; I said that that's because most of us don't go shopping and drinking cafe latte in these areas on our vacations, we're just unable to connect the dots emotionally and politically.
I also love modern democracy; its primary function is becoming building up ignorant societies with great military influence and the proceeding to carpet bomb other cultures to show them how great democracy is and convince them to join the cause.
God bless out hearts.
