  Dear Syrian Refugees

  welcome to canada from one immigrant to another !.

  calgary is welcoming it's first refugees from syria and iraq so tomorrow i'm going to take all the winter clothing that we have and donate it to a women / children's charity.

  it's not much (well, actually, it's a huge pile ... everything from when we first moved over!

  After World War Two, there were agreements made between nations to avoid refugee problems exactly like we're seeing today. Unfortunately, they're being ignored. If the refugees could be taken in by all counties proportional to their populations, we wouldn't have the overwhelming numbers in Germany and other welcoming countries.

  I'm not sure if it's militarily feasible or that the political will is there to put troops on the ground but my thoughts would go along the route of creating a safe haven within Syria near the Turkish border - with a multinational force under a UN header.

  Similar concept to the Balkans in the 90s.

  you make a topic with the entire title and post in capitals !!!.

  what you think happens: lots of people will read your many important words of much importance.

  what actually happens: the forum admin deletes it.. tip: don't post in all caps, it looks spammy and spammy gets deleted..

  Generally speaking, it's a bad idea to go back to old jobs. You tend to find that the move back will diminish the respect you're held in and your position will be weaker.

  pesident trump authorized the missile strike because “it is in the vital, national security interest of the united states to prevent and deter the use of deadly chemical weapons.” .

  59 tomahawk missiles were launched from two us navy ships.. russia has condemned the action.. https://youtu.be/4svp3yfneyq.

  More on topic, it seems that (a) Syrians are psychic or (b) someone tipped them off. I wonder how that could have happened..

  I have no problem with them evacuating personnel - however they would have found it tricky to take the runways and control towers with them.

  So people criticizing a blood thirsty death cult are more radical than people in said blood thirsty cult?... That is the stupidest f-cking thing I've heard in ages. Congratulations.

  You'd better hope it's not a death cult cos there's over a billion people in it.

  Well, i guess that makes Obama a more strategic thinker than you or trump then doesn't it.

  FWIW - Obama chose to have a narrow strategic focus in Syria. Nothing to do with cowardice and everything to do with realising how quickly things could escalate there. Something we may be about to find out. Although thankfully I think Putin may have enough sense not to let it.

  Mass random killings in the streets of European cities is the new norm.

  Look on the bright side, we've still a long way to go until we get as many mass random killings as the US.

  While I admire Trump for actually doing the right thing in this instance and standing up to Assad & Putin, I'm not so sure it will be good in the long term. I'll wait and see.
  In the meantime, well done to Trump for showing some guts and straightforwardly standing up to Assad & Putin by striking a Syrian base. I'm sure you agree.
  It makes a refreshing change from Obama's weak, cowardly actions in Syria.

  So you think it was a bad idea for trump to destroy the Syrian air base but Obama was a coward for agreeing with you?

  Are you on drugs?
