Example: A photo series on the popular Humans of New York Facebook page may have went viral and captured the nation’s attention last Tuesday, but for Daniel Kang, the post really hit home. 
  
 When Kang, a junior studying computer science at the University of Michigan, heard that the refugee pictured and his family were relocating to his hometown of Troy, Mich., he said he knew he had to help. 
  
 “I was really inspired by how intelligent he was and I knew a lot of people wanted to welcome him, so I thought, why not it be me?” he said. 
  
 On the Humans of New York Facebook page with over 16 million likes — including comments from President Obama — the seven-part picture series’ captions detail one Syrian scientist and his family’s tale of loss after a missile strike destroyed their home, forcing them to to flee to Turkey, now with plans of coming to the United States. 
  
 “Everything ended for us that day. That was our destiny. That was our share in life,” the scientist said. Battling stomach cancer, the loss of a home, career and seven family members, the man, whose name remains confidential to protect his identity as a refugee, expressed his hope for a new life in the United States. 
  
 “I learned today that I’m going to Troy, Michigan,” he said. “I know nothing about it. I just hope that it’s safe and that it’s a place where they respect science. I just want to get back to work. I want to be a person again. I don’t want the world to think I’m over. I’m still here.” 
  
 Knowing that refugees come to the United States with little more than they can carry, Kang quickly organized a crowdfunding campaign to help establish the man in his new home. 
  
 In four days, the GoFundMe page has raised over $16K in donations from over 700 people. On Saturday afternoon, actor Edward Norton also began a fundraiser for the scientist, raising even more for the refugee who says he “just wants to be a person again.” 
  
 “The response has been overwhelmingly positive,” said Kang. “A lot of people thanked me for doing a nice thing but I really feel like I was doing what anyone else would have done.” 
  
 Kang said he’s received many messages from people expressing their gratitude, those who want to reach out to the man personally, as well local companies interested in working with the scientist. This includes invitations to lecture at local colleges, research job opportunities and potential help from local medical facilities in treating the man’s stomach cancer. 
  
 “There’s definitely a lot of interest in helping him out,” he said. 
  
 The biggest concern, said Kang, are those skeptical of how the money will reach the man. 
  
 Kang, who has successfully crowdfunded in the past, is working closely with GoFundMe, the local refugee relocation agency Lutheran Social Services of Michigan, and is in communication with the Humans of New York staff to make sure all funding goes to the scientist. 
  
 In the end, Kang said he just hopes the scientist receives the welcome he deserves. 
  
 “If I could talk to him right now, I’d just tell him how sorry I am for everything he’s been through and that he’s coming to a great place. One of the things he said that resonated with me the most is that ‘I hope Troy is a place that appreciates science.’ 
  
 I’d say out of all the cities in Michigan, Troy is the best place to raise a family, be a scientist and we can’t wait to have him.”

This man has suffered profound loss that would crush the spirit of many people and yet he still passionately wants a chance to contribute positively to the world. If we don’t welcome people like this into our communities and empower his dream of making an impact with his life, then we’re not the country we tell ourselves we are. Let’s reject the 'anti-human’ voices that tell us to fear refugees and show this man and his family what Americans are really made of. Let’s show that a country built by the energy and dreams of immigrants still believes in brave people who come here with hope for better life. 
  
 Everything we raise here will go to help this family so that the father can get the medical treatment he needs to live and pursue his work, and his family can build a new stable life after their tragedy, and…as the Scientist beautifully expresses…to support his dream of contributing to the world. 
  
 Thanks to Humans of New York for sharing these stories. Thanks to the team at CrowdRise for putting this together and figuring out how to get even the credit card transaction fees covered so we can get the maximum to the family. 
  
 Thanks to everyone who rallies together to create the power of the crowd. If enough of us kick in the price of two frappucinos, we can probably transform the experience of this family and show them that life can deliver healing and kindness, not just heartbreak. 
  
 Thanks to Benevolent, all donations are tax-deductible. We will work with Benevolent to use all donated funds to help this family and will seek to use any excess or unused funds to help the other 11 profiled in the HONY ‘Syrian American’ series. 
  
 Edward Norton ||||| DETROIT, MI -- Moved to tears by a Humans of New York feature on a Syrian refugee fleeing to Metro Detroit, Hollywood actor Edward Norton launched an online fundraiser that had raised nearly $450,000 for the widower and his four children as of Thursday afternoon. 
  
 "I didn't hear about it, but I want to thank him very much from the humanity perspective," the man told NBC News after hearing about the fundraiser's success. "There are people outside who need that money much more than me." 
  
 The man asked NBC to refer to him as "Abu Ammar," a fake named used to protect his relatives who remain in Syria. He's known to many on the Internet simply as "The Scientist," which is also his profession. 
  
 The refugee's family was scheduled to arrive in Troy, a Detroit suburb, Thursday. He and four surviving children spent the last two years in Instanbul, Turkey. They fled civil-war-torn Syria after the man's wife and one of his daughters were killed in a missile attack on April 6, 2013. 
  
 His is one of 12 families featured by Humans of New York and cleared to resettle in the U.S. 
  
 "I learned today that I'm going to Troy, Michigan," the man told Humans of New York. "I know nothing about it. I just hope that it's safe and that it's a place where they respect science. I just want to get back to work. I want to be a person again. I don't want the world to think I'm over. I'm still here." 
  
 The story made rounds throughout the Internet and even garnered a response from President Barack Obama's official Facebook page: 
  
 As a husband and a father, I cannot even begin to imagine the loss you've endured. You and your family are an inspiration. I know that the great people of Michigan will embrace you with the compassion and support you deserve. Yes, you can still make a difference in the world, and we're proud that you'll pursue your dreams here. Welcome to your new home. You're part of what makes America great. 
  
 ,Norton, known for his roles in movies like "Fight Club" and "Birdman," wrote in the description of his online fundraiser:

 (6/7) “I had no problems before the bombing. I think the cancer came from my sadness and my stress. It’s in my... Posted by Humans of New York on Tuesday, December 8, 2015 ||||| ISTANBUL — The grieving refugee who touched hearts as "The Scientist" on the Humans of New York blog only mustered a brief smile when told that a Hollywood star had helped raise $450,000 for him. 
  
 Hours before flying to Michigan to start a new life in the U.S. on Thursday, the cancer-stricken Syrian civil engineer glanced down. 
  
 "I didn't hear about it, but I want to thank him very much from the humanity perspective," he said after NBC News revealed the crowdfunding appeal. Oscar-nominated actor Edward Norton was moved to tears after reading the refugee's biography on the photography site last week and launched the fundraiser. 
  
 "There are people outside who need that money much more than me," The Scientist said, displaying the sort of compassion and humility that helped his story go viral. 
  
 The Scientist, who asked NBC News to refer to him as "Abu Ammar" to protect family in Syria, said his life was shattered by a bomb that killed his wife and daughter just under three years ago. 
  
 He was later diagnosed with stomach cancer, and has had to care for five remaining children. 
  
 They include a teenage son, who is still reeling after watching his mother die, and a daughter who carries inside of her shrapnel from the attack on April 6, 2013. 
  
 "When a bomb drops you don't know where it comes from," he said. "There is no question our lives changed after that ... 180 degrees. I am mentally tired, in overwhelming sadness." 
  
 “ As long as there are good people in the world … then we can stop this bloodshed” 
  
 On Thursday, Abu Ammar and four of his children flew to Troy, Michigan, as part of a United Nations refugee resettlement program. 
  
 For about two years, the family had been living close to destitution in Turkey. But the drive to succeed still lingers, Abu Ammar said. 
  
 "I've had ambitions since I was a child, and right now I'm still that same child with the same ambitions," he said. "But I still have a message — sometimes when I'm talking to myself I say, 'No, I'm not supposed to die. I need to live long enough to realize my message to humanity.'" 
  
 Abu Ammar's story on Humans of New York, a popular blog started in 2010 that spawned a bestselling book, prompted an outpouring of compassion. Even President Barack Obama contributed, calling Abu Ammar and his family an "inspirations" on HONY's Facebook page. 
  
 "Yes, you can still make a difference in the world, and we're proud that you'll pursue your dreams here." Obama wrote. "Welcome to your new home. You're part of what makes America great." 
  
 Last night President @BarackObama wrote a very sweet welcome note to the scientist in Tuesday's story. pic.twitter.com/ZGrn3gOdR7 — Brandon Stanton (@humansofny) December 10, 2015 
  
 Norton, who starred in "Birdman," "Fight Club" and "American History X," set out to help pay The Scientist's medical expenses. 
  
 "This man has suffered profound loss that would crush the spirit of many people and yet he still passionately wants a chance to contribute positively to the world," Norton wrote. 
  
 The resettlement of Syrian and Muslim refugees in the United States is controversial, especially in the aftermath of attacks by Islamic extremists in Paris and San Bernardino. Some politicians — notably GOP presidential hopeful Donald Trump — have called for a ban on Muslims entering the country. 
  
 Abu Ammar told NBC News he didn't know anything about the debate over Muslims and immigration raging in the U.S. He also didn't have a solution to the war raging in his home country. 
  
 "I don't like to get into politics because I am a man of science, and I can separate science and politics completely," he said. "But as long as there are good people in the world, and everyone looks into his or her conscience, then we can stop this bloodshed." 
  
 Abu Ammar added: "No one benefits from people dying, and wars overall never benefit anybody — so let's hope God can help everyone and put out this fire." |||||
Example solution: A Syrian refugee whose moving story went viral earlier this month starts his new life in Troy, Michigan, on Thursday, NBC News reports. The refugee—who wants to keep his real name out of the media to protect family members still in Syria—is known as "The Scientist" on the blog Humans of New York, where he was first profiled. "I learned today that I’m going to Troy, Michigan," The Scientist told HONY. "I know nothing about it. I just hope that it’s safe and that it’s a place where they respect science." According to MLive, The Scientist left Syria in 2013 after a bomb killed his wife and one of his daughters. Since then, he's been diagnosed with stomach cancer and was barely scraping by in Turkey. Despite being "in overwhelming sadness," he and his surviving children are hoping for a new start in the US, he tells NBC. Thanks to his story—which even got the attention of President Obama—The Scientist will have some help to get that new start. NBC reports actor Edward Norton was moved to tears after reading The Scientist's story and started a crowdfunding page that has raised nearly $450,000. "I didn't hear about it, but I want to thank him very much from the humanity perspective," The Scientist says. "There are people outside who need that money much more than me." A Michigan college student was also inspired to help after hearing The Scientist would be moving to his hometown, according to USA Today. His fundraising page has raised more than $16,000. "I’d say out of all the cities in Michigan, Troy is the best place to raise a family, be a scientist, and we can’t wait to have him," Daniel Kang says.

Problem: Former Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich on Sunday blasted President Barack Obama's diplomatic strategy with Russia President Vladimir Putin regarding Syria's use of chemical weapons, saying Obama is now "following from behind." 
  
 "You have Putin playing chess and Obama playing, frankly, a very lucky game of tic-tac-toe," Gingrich said on CNN's "State of the Union." "Putin stepped in to maximize Russian influence in the Middle East. That is a strategically defeat for the United States." 
  
 "We are now relying on the Russians," said Gingrich, now a host of CNN's 'Crossfire." We're now following from behind -- not leading from behind. This is not a good long-term position." 
  
 The former House speaker from Georgia also said the American public is very wary of intervening in the Middle East. 
  
 "People are sick of the violence. They are sick of the Middle East. They are sick of where we are as a country right now," Gingrich said.

 The Missouri Republican, who opposed President Barack Obama's call for military action against because of its reported use of chemical weapons, said a small attack would have been a mistake. 
  
 “Assad would have said 'Look, the Americans took their best shot at me… and I’m still here,' ” Blunt said. “I think Assad’s a lot stronger today than he was two weeks ago.” 
  
 Blunt also expressed concern for the message the U.S.’s moves were sending to Iran. 
  
 “Iranians should understand that what’s happened in the last two weeks is not the template for Iran,” he said. “A nuclear capable Iran is not acceptable; this would be a totally different debate in the Congress. 
  
 The U.S. will have a tough time recovering from the message it has sent both allies and enemies alike in the past two weeks, Blunt said. “Our adversaries have taken heart in seeing the uncertainly."

 "This progress would not have been achieved without the threat of a military strike by President Obama," the Michigan Democrat said on CBS's "Face the Nation." "It's no coincidence that after that threat was achieved and made -- and after our Foreign Relations Committee on a bipartisan basis voted to authorize the use of force, the Russia finally decided it would put some pressure on Syria and get involved." 
  
 "It is so important that the continuing threat be very readily available," Levin said.

 Appearing on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” the Arizona Republican who lost Barack Obama in 2008, called the deal with Russia a “loser” saying it gave the country a position of power it hadn’t seen since 1970. 
  
 “It’s not a matter of trust it’s a matter of whether or not it will be enforced,” McCain said, expressing concern over what the U.S.’s next steps would be should Syrian President Bashar Assad pursue another attack. 
  
 “Suppose that this deal is made and then Bashar Assad does not comply?” McCain said. And quoting Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, he said Russia could stop the U.S. from following through with a use of force. 
  
 “Whatever happened to the president’s red line' where he said if they use chemical weapons we will respond?” McCain asked.

 Speaking on "Fareed Zakaria GPS" on CNN, both said the superpower deal on Syria was designed to allow President Vladimir Putin to combat the tide of radical Islamic power in the region and also within his nation's borders - but that the U.S.-Russia deal on Syria also managed to extricate the United States from a difficult situation. 
  
  
  
 "Putin, in my opinion," Kissinger said, "considers radical Islam his biggest security threat. ... He saw an opportunity to perhaps to get into step with us, solving a common problem." 
  
  
  
 Brzezinski said the two nations don't have the exact interests but "compatible interests." He said Putin is particularly fearful that the Muslim population in Russia's Caucusus region "might explode." 
  
  
  
 Kissinger, 90, is a former secretary of state who served both President Richard Nixon and President Gerald Ford. Brzezinski, 85, was President Jimmy Carter's national security adviser. Both were, and continue to be, polarizing figures. 
  
  
  
 Brzezinski told Zakaria he saw Putin as having a secondary motivation, the chance to reduce America's stature in the world. "Russia saw an opportunity to also become a significant player in this game," Brzezinski said, but he didn't see that as a bad thing, since it helped the two nations solve a common problem. 
  
  
  
 Both said that American policy on Syria was headed down the wrong path before the deal was made. Kissinger said he thought the Obama administration had been focused too narrowly on efforts to drive President Bashar Assad out of power as opposed to "the historic conflict between Shiites and Sunnis." 
  
  
  
 Brzezinski was even harsher, saying than an attack on Syria would have been "pointless." 
  
  
  
 He said: "Our actions were misconceived, badly calculated. This gets us off the hook."

 Praising the U.S-Russia accord on Syria, the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee said Russia has the most leverage to successfully disarm Syrian President Bashar Assad. 
  
  
  
 Russian President Vladimir Putin "is in a unique position, rather than the president, to get this done.” McCaul told said on "Fox New Sunday." “He’s now come forward as a leader and he owns this.” 
  
  
  
 McCaul, a Texas Republican and Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) agreed that while the U.S. should be involved in verifying that the chemical weapons had been eliminated, no U.S. troops should be deployed in Syria. 
  
  
  
 “It can be done without a shot fired, and hopefully without any American troops on the ground,” McCaul said.

assistant: Solution: It's "no coincidence" that the US and Russia were able to broker a deal after the Obama administration threatened a military strike in Syria, Carl Levin said today. "This progress would not have been achieved without" that pressure, which forced Russia to finally opt to "put some pressure on Syria and get involved." Echoing the sentiments of John Kerry today, Levin added that "It is so important that the continuing threat be very readily available."
