I think it is very interesting that when people talk about the refugee's, most notably if they are from Syria, there is one word that is never mentioned....

that word is FREE.

Before 2010 they lived under the thumb of a brutal dictator name Bashar Al-Assad.

Even though they are refugee's with nothing, they are still free. There are millions of people across the Middle East who are free because of the Arab Spring.  From Tunisia to Syria there are millions of people who have a choice where none existed before. They no longer are ruled by one man and his henchman.

Yes, many have little in the way of possessions,  money and economic stability. But if we in the West help - things in the region would change for the better.
