Folks are gettin' their Ya-yas out today on this piece!  Good thing it appeared late Friday afternoon, giving readers Fri. night and all day Saturday to fulminate about where Saunders stands on the politics of the issue, "fake news" (cliche of the day) and, oh, yes, "no discussion at all about first causes..." as one commenter puts it.  Yeah, yeah.  

Not too many words spoken in support of the implications of this...ummm, civil war?  Dirty war?  Whatever...
"The refugee camps will become permanent cities." Some--in Turkey--feel and operated pretty much that way right now. When do the Turks (and maybe the Greeks) take the kind of action France did on "the Jungle"?

You want to see atrocities? What France decided to do (demolish a camp of 3,000 and get campers some kind of aid) might be a model of restraint.
