I’ve been haunted by this footage all day and I don’t think you should be allowed to have a position on refugees without seeing it. This is what the survivors of Syria are running from. While it is possible, however unlikely, that terrorists might try to slip into Western borders under the guise of seeking asylum, it is no excuse to turn our backs on those who seek asylum legitimately. That, to speak bluntly, is a practical working definition of cowardice. Who knows a child who would not rush into a war zone to rescue that child from such horror? Yet, cowards would refuse this child because of simpleminded and false premises. Fear cannot eclipse our humanity or we concede ours is a savage, ignoble nature.
