The Syrian (Civil) War (Part Two): So What About The (100s of thousands, even millions) of Syrian Refugees? As So Many Armchair Critics in these Western lands have so emphatically declared, shouldn't they just get some guts and stay and fight for their besieged, beleaguered homeland?

That's (seemingly) a very 'good' question indeed. Just what should all these Syrian refugees actually do, that is, rather than 'simply' flee their rapidly sinking ship of state? I'm glad you asked.

For an entirely different and fresh perspective on this much-mooted point of contention, I seriously suggest you link in (in no more than about half an hour's time, I'm hoping) to my blogpost on my original blogsite. The opinion piece, entitled 'Who's To Say Who Should Stay?', reflects some considered thinking on my part over recent weeks and months, and utilizes a serendipitous reading I chanced upon just last Saturday in Dietrich Bonhoeffer's classic tome The Cost of Discipleship.

For those unfamiliar, my original blogsite is, and is located at:
