I watched Clarissa Ward, for sure it sounds harrowing, but then so it was here during WW2
Yet we chose to stay and fight! Yes some children were evacuated to the countryside but they did so often with a heavy heart at leaving their parents behind. What we see unfolding in North Africa and the Middle East is a population out of control, lacking discipline, breeding for fun and lacking even the most basic provisions. If we have a responsibility, and I believe we do, it is to improve their lives by investing in infrastructure schools etc to help them if they are willing. I would willingly help where I could as should the religious communities throughout the region, it is no good pretending that we i.e. Europe has all the answers and that we should simply open our doors, give them hope in their own countries and rid them of those who seek to destroy them. How we do that is open to discussion but. It ought to be achievable.
