Supposing we all agree(novel approach i realise) that

1) these people are deserving of compassion
2) we can't take every person displaced, whoever the fuck displaced them
3) through the united nations - can't we do like we did after the second world war and help people back to safety


I know what some of you are going to say. We didn't do a brilliant job after WW2 - we sent back people to Stalin's tender mercies. but surely this is a case for giving good intentions a bit of pro active muscle.

Or is that contentious?
