I agree that it is very hard politically. But the right thing to do is very clear. Accept refugees as per the international law. Push them back to their countries once things settle down. All these countries gleefully signed up for the humanitarian law and waved it in other countries' faces when...

I appreciate Turkey's response. They took in 1.5 mil people. But does Turkey have camps to accommodate 3 million Syrian refugees? Then why not confine them there? Why let them cross your country and into the West? And thanks for the picture.

Brother, I do not wish the destruction of anyone, least of all the West. All I wish is they stand as model for the world and show how people should be treated. There are in the best position to do so. If they let people to die in the Mediterranean, every tinpot dictator and scoundrel leader in...

Let us compare apples with apples. Socialists somehow rescued their ideas from the shadow of Nazis, resisting the attempt to hijack the word socialist. Muslims should do the same. BTW Good to see you back Agno :)

There is one biiig con which you are ignoring. And that is PEOPLE ARE DYING!! If these countries had decent livable refugee camps, then Europe wouldn't be receiving so many people. These seem like fair suggestions. Ones which are already being followed. Except 1 which is not feasible because...

Europe should accept refugees. If the Arab and Gulf countries shirk their responsibility and refuse refugees, then so be it. Somebody should take them for the sake of humanity. Letting people die like that is not consistent with European values. The present episode will teach Europe to practice...

I think we should call them by the name they use for themselves. Only when people know what is being done in the name of Islam, the Islamists will get a lesson on consequences of their pursuit. And it will also warn muslims on the dangers of taking their beliefs to the extreme. We call Nazis as...

No, science can totally explain such phenomenon now. If any random person makes 100 random abstract predictions for the next century, 50 of them will be seen as true by the next generation because human imagination will confuse them as facts and try to conflate some random occurrence with the...

OK. So one more nutjob.

Our blood is cheaper for our country. Why should we expect others to value it more? Lisbon Treaty is a Euro thing. I hope Turkey pulls its NATO strings. It is their fault, they did not use the organisations clauses to call for help.

Duh!! Turkey is not in Eurozone.

No, it is one horse sized horse vs 100 small-horse sized horses. Getting to make the horse participate in political process will take costly compromises. And he larger the horse more the compromise. Instead it is better to deal with smaller horses and the compromise required is only as big as...

You are too naive if you think BJP did not play caste politics in Bihar. It is just that they did a bad job at it. They did not get the backing of the most prominent caste. And pissing of muslims did not help either.

That is so true.

It is very different now. May be you forgot the days when TTP had both Waziristans, Swat and Bajaur(almost whole of FATA except inner areas like Tank) under their defacto control. Even those zealots can cause more damage when they are united. Is it so hard to comprehend that coordination...

France24 says 'hundreds' killed in the concert hall.

Simple question. Is TTP the same after Baitullah Mehsud's killing? Don't throw movie dialogues at me. Leaders do matter. There might be more violence, one that comes out because of fratricide. Government's job is no-violence in the big picture. It does not mean capitulating before terrorists...

Hmm. I am just trying to think what else can I eat without getting brain damage. Apparently I should just breathe air and live.

There is a new threat on ZH?!! See you there!! Yeah sure, better than policy paralysis.
