Have been suffering from fatigue. I felt in the last year or two that their contributions while increasing were not keeping pace with the needed increases. Certainly europe now is very focused on needing to provide more assistance to help the refugees who are in the middle east and are displaced inside syria and also refugees in the surrounding neighboring countries. Then for a couple of years now we have been trying to encourage gulf states to become routine regular donors to and through United Nations appeals. And i would say weve had mixed success on this.

Is that doable under Current Conditions . Is it unthinkable . First of all if we were actually presented with a proposition like this . Well, first of all, ive not seen any evidence that this guy, or the people around them, are ready to go. A hypothetical question. At any point. Thats often whats presented here. Well, if you gave the guy a bull tow or a place to go we could get them out. Usually t
Kerry suggests that syria could hand over its weapons of mass destruction to some kind of International Committee that would then destroy them. Does anybody really believe the syrians would do that in the russians are all over it. Puts them in the drivers seat again. Supposedly this will broker a deal. I dont believe a word of it. It is just a stalling tactic for everyone involved. And the white house is grasping at straws. And i presume todays 141 point stock market rally had something to do with moving away from war.
