myata Posted March 5, 2007 Report Posted March 5, 2007 On CBC this morning, there was a long decumentary about Iraqi refugees in Syria. Apparently over 1 mln of them fled to Syria only from the violence and instability at home. According to the documentary, Syria has been quite generous to the refugees so far, but it's causing tensions with the local population as people compete for the same resources and jobs. Now, shouldn't those who created the problem also pay for the results, in full? I think it would be proper (and moral), if the countries of the US led coalition - namely, US itself, UK, Italy, Netherlands, and a bunch of the "new Europe" states had to take full care (financial and otherwise) of these people, if they cannot guarantee their security at home, as they are obliged as occupying forces by the Geneva convention? Maybe allow unhindered immigration for the refugees if they so desire? Quote If it's you or them, the truth is equidistant
