content: I'm pretty sure the Romans said the same thing about the Goths, until they came down on Rome and sacked it of course. I would rather have the Middle East re stabilized and these "refugees" (note: who are mostly NOT from Syria), sent back home peacefully than allow them to stay and erode the foundation Europe was built on unchecked. That foundation being democracy and NOT shariah law like is practiced in their homelands.  I still believe that, even if America wants to play puppet master, the average citizen will see more damage to their current way of life than the government officials will. Just look at the German rape statistics since this began, and the call for women to "dress up". Their way of life is being altered simply because one culture dislikes it and is imposing their beliefs on the other under threat of rape or beating.   This is the very reason why, I believe, there needs to be cultural push back to those coming into the Western world in order to correct the behavior of those that want to stay. If I am not mistaken, it's called "assimilation into the native culture".
