The Green Party is calling for “an expanded U.S. role in offering aid and new homes for Middle Eastern refugees and an end to interventionist ‘regime change’ policies that continue to provoke violent conflict and displacement of civilians,” the party said in a statement Thursday.
Green Party national co-chair Bahram Zandi said, “The crisis of displacement has been caused in large measure by U.S. policies in the Middle East, north Africa, and western Asia. When the U.S. invaded Afghanistan and Iraq in the last decade and ousted Qaddafi in Libya in 2011, the result was an era of regional instability and violence in countries between Pakistan and Nigeria. Greens warned that this would happen and opposed all of these actions.”
The Green Party is calling on the U.S. to end policies of military intervention and regime change, commit to providing humanitarian aid, and lead an international summit on Syrian refugee relief.
Deran, you said: “I think there is plenty of blame to go around. The US for creating the chaos in Iraq, Russia for being the Syrian Baathists provioner and protector. Everyone else for doing nothing when the Syrians started their entirely nonviolent mass movement for openess and democracy and no one did anything to help them or tell Russia to get the hell out.
I look at it like South Vietnam. The US has a fair amount of culpability for the situation and we should be taking on the effort to resettle as many Syrians and Iraqis as we can.”
Here is my solution to the whole problem: http://cryptome.org/ap.htm
A fair trade would be if Syria gets Donald Trump, and in exchange the US takes in another 100,000 refugees.
Are Time and Jim the same? Maybe Norman Bates? Or whatever that fellow is called.

NF thanks.. that makes more sense. I guess by “we” Tim meant the Green Party?
Jim, you completely lost me. What people? What system? The only thing I do here is post articles and comment on them. I’m not an admin or owner of this site, and I didn’t create wordpress. I don’t even have any idea what you did to get an error message. You are talking to completely the wrong person about that.
Paulie, your foolish system said on another subject:
“This is somewhat embarrassing, isn’t it?
It seems we can’t find what you’re looking for. Perhaps searching can help.”
You people are utter and complete wimps!!!
I got it as “weren’t even mentioned” rather than “were it even mentioned”.
Tim, please explain. Your sentence doesn’t make sense. I don’t care about typos, but I can’t even extrapolate what you meant from what you wrote.
Too bad the terrorists were it even mentioned as a factor – poorly written – we blame ONLY the US
