We have a tradition of offering assistance to war refugees from areas where we have been militarily involved, but how far should we expand this largess to those affected by third party conflicts such as in Syria? It seems to me that this simply encourages military conflicts and rewards the victors with a convenient way to remove political dissidents.
In addition, doesn't the creation of a refugee crisis and migration constitute an assault against affected neighboring countries? Why should this be passively accepted by those countries? I am all in favor of providing relief to victims of natural disasters, but I do not think we should facilitate deliberate acts of aggression by ameliorating the consequences of those actions.
What say you?
