The
people who speak into the megaphone in the airports aren't always
telling us the truth. We find out sometimes it is anything but the
truth. What is the truth is that there has been a tragic war in the Middle
East, and it continues. The civilian population has been decimated in
Syria, and there are refugees going in all directions. A lot of it is
because we have created and we have allowed for a power vacuum--a power
vacuum in Syria. That brought Putin into that power vacuum, and he was
able to assert himself and, so far, at least, protect al-Assad.
