The vast amount of refugees from Syria is quickly becoming a world wide problem.

In Switzerland...

"The anti-immigration Swiss People's Party (SVP) won the biggest share of the vote in Sunday's national parliamentary election, keeping pressure on Bern to introduce quotas on people moving from the European Union."

In Germany

"Germany's PEGIDA movement holds an anti-migrant rally Monday a year on from its formation, highlighting a European backlash towards a massive influx that has heaped pressure on Chancellor Angela Merkel."

In Turkey

"Turkish Prime Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said on Monday his country was "not a concentration camp" and would not host migrants permanently to appease the EU, which wants Turkey to stop the flow of people to Europe."

Some reasons for this....

From Austria

"When you dare to take a look at the border town of Nickelsdorf, population 1,600, you will literally be blown away: uncontrolled, illegal migrants wherever you look, and an orgy of garbage and feces of unparalleled dimensions."

From Germany

"With the approach of winter, authorities are scrambling to find warm places to stay for the thousands of refugees streaming into Germany every day. In desperation, they have turned to sports halls, youth hostels and empty office buildings."

And as England tries to cope they come under the criticism of Muslims.

"British Prime Minister David Cameron unveiled a new strategy on Monday to combat extremism, saying the battle was "perhaps the "defining one of this century", but his proposals were condemned by Muslims as demonizing their communities and set to fail."

Meanwhile here in the USA....

"WASHINGTON — President Obama, under increasing pressure to demonstrate that the United States is joining European nations in the effort to resettle Syrian refugees, has told his administration to take in at least 10,000 displaced Syrians over the next year."

I am often criticized for posting links to stories I read about what is happening in the world. Back a few years, I posted link after link on here about what was happening in Syria and was being ignored; about the children being gassed in the streets and the lack of attention to that.

i did not get many, if any, replies to those threads and not many reads.

This is not an indictment of President Obama as so many will read it, but an indictment of the American people along with his attitude.

It is now a world wide problem and if you think it will not affect our borders, not affect what is happening in this world, you are just not paying attention.

You do not have to read any of this stuff, but folks..

The world is on fire, and our leaders, and us, are all caught up in our own shorts as if anyone in the world cares. Syria now joins Iraq, Yemen, Libya and many others have simply ceased to exist as they were.

If you are saying "why should we care", then you are naive. As Israel deals with terrorism on a daily basis which in the future will grow with funds from Iran, you cannot possibly think all of this hate will remain in the middle east.

I am not a war monger, but we need to show a presence in the middle east. We need to show that we really care about what is happening. We, as a country need to be involved before we are forced to get involved.

Sorry, now back to the gossip of the day. I get messages always telling me that I should not be such a worrier but all of this was predicted years ago.
