I just had a thought, perhaps a naive uninformed thought... maybe it's a positive sign to be embraced that these 20 something year old males are the majority flocking to Europe (et al) from Syria instead of the families (assuming that the males are indeed actually the majority)? These young men's alternative options seem to be between:

1.) fighting against the U.S.A. (for Assad);
2.) joining the psychotic, head-lopping ISIS;
3.) joining the U.S.A. supported rebel groups (and being dropped like a bad habit and thrown under the bus at the drop of a dime) and;
4.) bleeping off to Europe (etc.)... I know what I would do...

I know it's quaint to think of saving the families but maybe the 20-something males (who are realistically probably the highest at risk) are the opportunity to make the biggest difference when it comes to refugees...
