If you think the reason why Syrians are walking from Aleppo/Kobane to Munich is because Bashar Assad is killing them, then there is a very serious problem with your reasoning powers.
Assad the father was dictator for decades, yet Syrians have never decided to walk to Munich. Bashar himself was a dictator for years after his father died. They never decided to put maximum distance between themselves and their country on foot.
They only decided to do that after Obama decided to send weapons into Middle East and destabilize the Syrian government. It is such typical poor, ignorant, presumptuous poorly judged foreign policy that we have come to expect from the Americans.
That poor judgement started when George Bush thought he could make Iraq a Western style democracy after letting Paul Bremmer run Iraq for six months. It boggles the mind to try and fathom how any intelligent person can even imagine that they can undo centuries if culture and sectarianism in just six months.
Habits, ways and values that have been set over centuries, someone thinks they can saunter in, and saunter out six months later leaving everything working according to their ways and values. The absurdity is laughable. It would make nice comedy if the results were not so tragic.
Instead of one big dictatorship, American policy has created a jigsaw patchwork of small dictatorships. Not even the Americans themselves know how to deal with them. If they do, why aren't they stopping the misery of Syrians.
To rub salt into the wound, the Americans and their allies sponsoring the destabilisation, do not want to help with the crisis they created. It is Europe and Canada that are having to foot the bill of helping the refugees. In the region it is Lebanon, Iran, Jordan, Afghanistan and Turkey that are bearing the worst of the refugee flood.
The allies that helped Americans sponsor what eventually became the Islamic State are nowhere to be seen. Significant American allies, Israel, Saudi Arabia are nowhere to be seen with helping the refugees.
After their attempts to create a rebel group allied to them failed with a host of groups that became the IS, the Americans are still trying to do the same thing with another rebel group. Do they have any guarantee that the people they are trying to train won't just feed into the rabid sectarian militia network. No they don't.
So why keep pumping weapons into the region? Why keep pumping military knowhow into the region? What is the purpose of doing those things besides callously making Syrians suffer more?
