Certainly. Helping people -- especially women and children in desperate situations -- is the CHRISTIAN thing to do. Any real Christian knows that -- as well as decent non-Christians.
Too bad there don't seem to be very many real Christians among the conservatives.
I would take in all able bodied fighting men for three months, confine them to a military base where they could receive basic combat training, return them to Syria well armed, and have them fight for their own country.
What do Canadians think of Prime Minister Trudeau welcoming the Syrian refugees?" If the only issue Canada faces is how we greet Syrians instead of doing things like banning entire cultures - I think we're doing pretty darned good. I'd sure rather our PM show some compassion then act like a dick - yes.
"As seen here, it was quite a happy scene as Mr. Trudeau greeted the first planeload of 163 refugees. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/12/world/... " The same news-story and photo's ran in Canadian news sources too you know - did you really have to source an item that happened in Toronto to the NY Times. Do you not think a Canadian broadcaster might have a more Canadian perspective?
Seems reasonable. "Obviously Americans will be very interested to see his response to the 154th planeload of refugees." I doubt they really care; I hardly care how Americans greet aircraft or those on it.
Oh look a boatload of Cubans just landed on some Florida beach, let's watch intently shall we not. Sorry - that doesn't happen.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
