In Lebanon, refugee families were cut to $13 per month for food. They end up having to sell their kids to marriage or labor. World shrugs.

ISIS, which has been trying to stop refugee outflow, attacks Paris with EU citizens. Makes sure refugee passport on scene. World freaks out.

Sane policy: 1-Don't ignore large no of desperate people. 2-Improve conditions where they are. 3-Manage intake. 4-FOCUS ON ENDING CONFLICT.

Not so sane policy: 1-Ignore till things unmanageable. 2-Don't try to manage even then. 3-Let ISIS run the strategic show. 4-Blame victims.
