Euope & Other Countries Cannot Absorb All Middle East Refugees.

We must solve the Middle East muddle. Other nations cannot absorb all the refugees from that region without destabilizing its own society. Such massive uncontrolled tsunami of people needing services cannot be sustained without end.

Somehow and in some way the international community must find a way to make the region livable and the people of the Middle East must be part of the solution to their problems.

country. And not just because of any one country. A crash of any country is going to effect the whole rest of the world.
This is a world crisis.

Their social systems are not going to hold up without a large influx of working age people soon - and sooner than they can grow their own.

Do you see that taper at the low end and the bulge at the high end?

Absent a substantial number of immigrants, Germany will suffer a "massive uncontrolled tsunami of people needing services" - their own pensioners.

without rancor, hostility or finger pointing.

There needs to be some real solutions proposed

Especially the wealthy Gulf states. It disgusts me that they are doing nothing for these people.
