Shall we try to figure out what the refugee story is all about?
Specifically, if it has anything to do with Europeans', or Westerners' racism?
In that perspective, let us imagine that the refugees are not Syrians but Swedes blonde, blue-eyed souls with fellow European and Christian roots.
Wouldn't that prove that the animosity towards the mainly Arab and/or Muslim refugees is all about racism?
Be honest, dude: Wouldn't I be eager to help if the refugees turned out to be of fellow Scandinavian stock?

I was answering the question posed in the title. Nothing more.
Most fascinating part, how to get help the refugees, i.e., help them return to their home that was no longer tyrannical control, though, the part about Bush how Bush mirrored Roosevelt and Churchill should have been expanded.
>>Moreover, the solution to the Danish refugee problem was not to bring relief to the Danes in Denmark; it was not to allow Danish refugees to settle in Sweden. The solution was to get rid of the occupying force so that the refugees could go back; the solution was to overthrow the Nazi government of Adolf Hitler.
If the Danes could not do that, the solution would have to carried out by external forces, forces led by men like Roosevelt, and by men like Churchill.
But see, many of you are not going to like where this conversation is going
Indeed. Here we are getting to the man who has been the most hated man, the most despised man, most ridiculed man in recent memory.
Needless to say, you know who I am speaking of.
No, t’is not Vladimir Putin. T’is not an Iranian ayatollah. T’is not Assad. T’is not Fidel (or Raúl) Castro. T’is not Saddam Hussein.
Of course we are talking about George W Bush.
Remember the 2000s? Remember when we were pretending that “a rather unremarkable brush war” (Iraq) was the worst thing ever (thanks to Ed Driscroll). (And we still do.)
Remember 2008? Remember when we would finally thank God! get rid of the stupid cowboy?
We were all so glad to get rid of Dubya in favor of a man of peace, a man who promised to end wars, a man who earned the Nobel Peace Prize just for winning the election.
Finally, a visionary of unlimited intelligence who noticed that all the foreign policies of previous presidents was so much saber-rattling.
Finally, a man who realized that by simply talking to foreign autocrats, one could bring peace for our time.
Congratulations, people!
Congratulations, Europeans!
You got the U.S. president you were pining for!
The Nobel Peace Prize laureate “ended” the war in Iraq in 2011, and Iraq hasn’t had (or has hardly) suffered any violence since then.
The Nobel Peace Prize laureate (and Hillary Clinton) hit the reset button with Russia in 2009, and Vladimir Putin hasn’t bothered anyone (or has hardly) since then.
During the Bush years, every bad thing that occurred, domestically or internationally, I was told repeatedly (with a grim face, dark eyes, gnashing teeth, and sputtering rage), was “on Bush’s watch”.
Now that one Barack Obama is in the White House, there is never any sputtering rage accompanied with the “it’s on Obama’s watch” line.
Nobody has noticed!
Millions of refugees heading to Europe are on the Nobel Peace Prize laureate’s watch.
I’ll have that now please, thank you. Please. Pretty please. I’m single. I’m ronery. Please ?
