I believe that millions of lives and a civilization would have been saved if first, Italy and France, then Greece had sunk the first refugee boats within sight of the coasts of origin and turned back the landwalkers at the borders with bayonets and machine guns. The wave would never have grown, wopuld have ebbed; thousands and thousands more would not drown in capsized boats. The slaughtering of Europe’s Christians would not be imminent.
Australia turns the boats around and sends them back.
