There are
millions of refugees all around the eastern and southern borders of the
Mediterranean sea, 1,5 million in camps or on the street in Lebanon. Some are
in camps, some families are living and sleeping on the street. Most of the
children that fled with their parents or relatives cannot go to school as there
are no spaces for them, thus held in limbo with respect to their future. We
cannot ask a 4 million nation like Lebanon to provide everything for all
flooding over their borders.
We can
finance decent living and schools for refugees in Lebanon, Turkey, Egypt,
Libya, Tunisia and Morocco if politically feasible just to buy time to provide
for these people migrating further into Europe, to suspend disasters like
people dying on the streets of the middle east or trying to cross the
Mediterranean in vessels not sea worthy. We can provide doctors, nurses and
teachers, sent to the countries bordering the war zones in the middle east, we can even provide homes and buildings as this situation will persist for a long time - many believes that tomorrow will be different with peace restored, it will not.
Europe needs time to provide for living space and work opportunities for all
these millions uprooted by wars, we are not prepared, not ready and just
letting them in will only create more unrest.
Why not
give up on political objectives such as improving schools nationally, such as
pumping in money to raise production, improving business climate, create the
lowest unemployment in Europe etc. but instead put our national interests on
hold and use the resources to improve and stabilize the situation in the
countries around the war zones. This for all countries, especially in the core
EU states.
The Swedish
socialistic government and in particular its foreign minister Margot Wallström
is continuing on the old track of opening up for more immigrants, providing
jobs and education for more immigrants an impossible task and contrary to what
the Swedish people thinks and wants. Thinking outside of the box would be to
suspend national growth and use the resources created from raised taxes to
provide for immigrants at where they are right now, in war zones bordering
countries like Turkey, Lebanon, Egypt, Libya, Tunisia and Morocco, this of
course in consent with the governments in those countries.
Then coming
to the question of liability; who did this to us? Not a word from the USA and
its figurehead Barack Obama. Not a word of economic support considering the actions that lead up to the situation we
are living in this part of the world. Interventions like "hit and
run" in Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya, then dysfunctional diplomacy with
respect to Syria and the regime of Bashar al Assad eventually destabilizing the
entire region. The Lebanese people are highly critical to the EU and USA with
respect to coming to terms with Syria through diplomacy. Thanks to the
"failing" US diplomacy, we now have ISIS and another dozen terrorist
factions fighting for control.
Well, I
think we can do without economic help from the USA, we just have to suspend
national growth and use that money to help the people/refugees where the
majority is situated for the moment. If this requires military intervention in
Libya, so be it. EU needs resolve of this order, we cannot rely on the USA any
more.
