While the world’s attention is fixed on the tens of thousands of Syrian refugees swarming into Europe, a potentially far more profound crisis is unfolding in the countries of the Middle East that have borne the brunt of the world’s failure to resolve the Syrian war.
Those reaching Europe represent a small percentage of the 4 million Syrians who have fled into Lebanon, Jordan, Turkey and Iraq, making Syria the biggest single source of refugees in the world and the worst humanitarian emergency in more than four decades.

They won’t get in here unless the Democrats can count on their political support. Wouldn’t it be ironic if, after opening our borders, Republican inclined refugees started pouring in? The Democrats would put up that wall before you could say ‘voter fraud’!
Why do liberals always presume it's "the world's failure" to act? Maybe it's SYRIA'S failure to resolve its OWN problem.
It's also not the world's obligation to take in these wretched refugees, a good portion of whom will immediately begin ravaging their new homelands.
I’m not inclined to spill American blood to save any muslims. And while I really sympathize with Christians and Jews, I think they probably should never have lived in a majority muslim country, even under apparent peace.
The biggest tragedy in Europe — is that it is allowing itself to be conquered by Muslim invaders.
Wherever you look Islamic culture is beset by violence and chaos. There is only a thin veneer of stability in some Muslim countries made possible by enormous wealth and coercion. Islamic culture is simply unable to cope with the challenges that the institutions, practices and values of modernity. The barbaric jihadists are bewildered reactionaries who are seeking solace in the customs and even dress of the 9th century. These migrations toward the lands formerly known as Christendom are just beginning. Other than access to the wealth why would a rational person wish to remain in these Islamic lands?
A lot of those Christians and Jews have lived there for centuries.
“the world’s failure to resolve the Syrian war”
It seems to me that Obama and McCain have a lot to do with the war in Syria and elsewhere in the Middle East.
The horrors of the Syrian refugee crisis will escalate even further once Congress approves the treaty with Iran.
The treaty will provide $150 billion dollars to Iran, which it will use to continue to support Syrian president Assad, whose growing penchant for using chemical weapons against innocent civilians will be generously indulged thanks to Iran’s new windfall.
Three European countries — France, Britain, and Germany — have already signed the Iran treaty, even though Europe continues to suffer from inundations of Middle Eastern refugees, which will only increase due to Iran’s new wealth.
How much longer will Europe’s leaders be able to stay in power now that the anger of their anti-immigrant populations is bound to increase as more refugees descend upon them?
The US supporting terrorists in the mistaken belief that they are better than relatively secular Arab dictators led to Mubarak, Qaddaffi, Saddam Hussein all being overthrown and terrorists elected or elevated to leadership in their place. Egypt is the minor exception with its secular military ousting the terrorist political party elected, but now they deal with extremist terrorists killing tourists and locals alike.
And even when it is just Muslims, Sunni versus Shia violence in India and Pakistan, Iran versus Iraq, prove Islam doesn’t mean PEACE.
I never saw a purpose to Obama and Clinton’s havoc-wrecking in Libya, Syria, Egypt, Yemen and Iraq. Was it just stupidity? They attempted (and except for Egypt) succeeded in creating chaos and war in those places.
Now perhaps there is a logical explanation.
Both Clinton and Obama are addicted to the concept of revolution, even if there is not a need for it. It’s the chaos and being ‘part of history’ that they want.
