I accept the argument that there is a risk... there is...
... but, it's part of the "you break it, you own it" philosophy Colin Powell spoke of...
Our policies in the Middle-East have very much contributed to this,.. and we should be honour bound to help these people.
Millions have been affected, and survivors are fleeing... they have lost everything.
Among them, there are assuredly some nefarious actors.
...but, it is our responsibility...
There are millions... ...and we know for a fact ISIS consists of only few 100,000 in total.. (you can't believe they are all planning to sneak in)... (perhaps a few hundred... among several million)...
The risk of danger, is outweighed by the need of so many...
And we do have some responsibility...
I am an atheist, heathen, sarcastic joker, and not particularly courageous... ,,,but even I have a code of honour...
I see that we, collectively, (and not me personally),... have a duty.
Plus...as a practical matter...
Defending these masses of innocent victims,... attacks ISIS's argument that we are the evil they fight against.
Don't let fear dictate your morality...
The vast majority of these people are good people in need of help...
If you saw a man attempt to kidnap a child,... you would take a personal risk to prevent it...
Honour and courage require risk... you have it without...
We have a responsibility...
(pardon if that sounds disjointed,... my cursor is misbehaving... jumping all around the page... this took way too long to post)...
Technology is so fustatin'...
