Thomas, your editorial "Friends and Refugees in Need" is obviously from a cognac or two while pontificating among the elites in Davos, Switzerland about what ails the world. Clearly Angela Merkel's attempt to assuage past sins and make Germany an utopia for refugees has had dire consequences. Primarily it put asylum seekers on a dangerous trek through hostile lands and people and secondarily endangered the social fabric of Germany and its neighbors, countries with less means and tolerance. The utopia beacon has got to be turned off now for everyone's sake! Definitely before the influx begins anew in April and further threatens everyone, the refugees and the European Union.
From one elite to another, Germany needs to turn on the money faucet in Jordan's refugees camps housing Syrian on their Northwest border and make it the new utopia! Make it so attractive it redirects the northward migration and fills these camps with moderate people desiring a decent life who self organize politically to then push into Syria's southern border and create city states protected by Jordan troops and allied air cover. Syria's sovereignty under Assad's dysfunction needs as much regard as a used condom, but it would be helpful if the Allies were to negotiate with Russia and Iran to isolate and contain Assad in his Alawite enclave north of Lebanon by the sea so as to keep his barrel bombing helicopters out of the sky and not threaten the germinating city states. It's just a thought as I finish off my brandy.
