The Syrian Refugees

What to do with the Syrian refugees? What do we do? Conceptually, the answer is not as difficult as we might think, although it is expensive and a massive undertaking.

Most of these refugees are not keen on leaving the Middle East in hopes that they can go home some day when the evil and madness has run its course. Accordingly, the most appropriate response is to build and adequately maintain refugee camps on the periphery of Syria, probably in Turkey and Jordan primarily. This should be a joint effort of the UN, the EU, the United States, and the Gulf States, as well as any other powers that want to constructively participate. There should be a wide buffer around these camps on the Syrian side of no fly/no go zones that are backed up by serious military muscle. 

There are some people that we may want to settle in the West: those compromised by working with Western NGOs or governments, Christians, and those needing specialized medical treatment. This does not include thousands of able-bodied young men outside of these exceptions that we somehow feel guilty about excluding. They stay there - no guilt. 

In the meantime, a Western coalition like Desert Storm needs to be assembled to go in and clean out the nest of vipers that is ISIS, and anyone else who fits the general description, as in sanitized, goy-goy, good bye. Little love taps don't do the job. Let these vermin face armored divisions and see how tough they are. Will there be civilian casualties? To be sure, but there is no choice now and the problem will only grow if we let it fester. 

Eurabia will eventually happen due to misguided European policies, but neither they nor we need to accelerate the process by throwing open borders to refugees, many of whom are Trojan horses just dying - as in Paris - to get in. It's time to quit the hand-wringing and intramural feuding over letting them in or not. Build it in the Middle East and they will come, then get to work so they can go home again.
