I think we have fine examples of refugee integration working out both wonderfully and horribly. In my mind this means we simply need to focus on what works. Which appears to be refugees being spread out across larger areas, rather than being concentrated in one place. This provides easier access to jobs, housing, and the attendant benefits that kind of security provides. Conversely it seems when large groups of people are in one place there is a shortage of work and housing which is a common cause of many issues such as poverty, crime, and substance abuse.

I find my self most interested in the various groups that are allied or in conflict with one another. I want to know who is responsible for what. I.E who fired first, who committed what crimes, who is at fault. Not just the forces within Syria but also the external forces effecting the country and its refugees.
