So long as the Syrian civil war grinds on and the Islamic State continues expanding its footprint, desperate refugees will keep flowing from places like Syria. Unfortunately, addressing the root causes of either the Syrian conflict or the rise of ISIS is beyond the scope of what the United States and its allies can reasonably do. Calls on Syrian President Bashar al-Assad to negotiate with rebel fighters have proven wholly ineffective to date, while greater military involvement in Syria is neither wise nor justified on U.S. national-security grounds.

Trevor Thrall is a senior fellow for the Cato Institute’s Defense and Foreign Policy Department. Thrall is an associate professor at George Mason University in the Department of Public & International Affairs and the Director of the Graduate Program in Biodefense. He teaches courses in international security, political communication, and U.S. military intervention. His recently edited book, American Foreign Policy and the Politics of Fear: Threat Inflation since 9/11 (Routledge 2009), examined why and how the Bush administration was able to build public support for the war in Iraq in 2003. The companion volume to that work, Why Did the United States Invade Iraq? (Routledge 2011), collects competing explanations about why the administration decided to go to war in the first place.
Prior to arriving at George Mason, Dr. Thrall was an associate professor at the University of Michigan-Dearborn where he directed the Master of Public Policy and Master of Public Administration programs. He received his Ph.D. in political science from Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

the picture of the shot dead “migrant” in Eastern Europe didn’t even stop the stride of my spoon as I ate my Lucky Charms.

ISIS is launching condom bombs. Russia must be Slaughtering them!!!
Richard Gatling was a great American inventor. He invented a tool that border crossing agents could utilize against invasion.
No. The Syrian wimps that allow islamo filth to run their lives deserve no protection. Kill the islamo trash that oppresses you and then we’ll talk.
Who’s going to rebuild Syria if everyone is dead or leaves
There are no Syrian refugees.
Mussies want to kill Westerners but it’s our fault they’ll starve and all if we don’t let them in. Liberal logic at it’s best.
This is an insane article. Bring all the jihadis and their problems into this country, instead of fixing the problem where they are at and keeping them there.
Insane. The author has succumbed to the false premise that “all the people all over the world are all the same”.
Utterly false.
