The influx of refugees into Europe from North Africa and the Middle East seems to be taking its toll on Governments in the European Union. Back and forth blaming for the crises is the order of the day, and no-one seems eager to take responsibility for the situation.  The European Union leaders are blaming its individual EU members and conveniently passing the buck without any shame.

The refugee crisis is a direct result of the endless wars the Western leaders perpetrated on these ravaged countries. Rewind back to 2003 when the first wave of attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq by the US and its NATO allies, who claimed to free the people from dictatorship and tyranny and bring democracy to their countries. Twelve years and several wars later these and other ME countries are now in total chaos with no sign of democracy or freedom but utter destruction, misery, death and poverty bestowed on the citizens. The result?  People are fleeing their devastated lands in droves and seeking shelter in the nearest place of safety, namely Europe and Britain.

With the predicament ever becoming worse and unmanageable, the free-flowing borderless countries of the EU are considering closing their borders as a result of the situation. The irony of the circumstances, is nothing but laughable in the eyes of the world.  Before plundering and pillaging those countries for their own selfish and Imperial interests, the EU leaders had only good things to sell in their quest bomb these lands into oblivion. Example, see David Cameron’s plea to bomb Syria (for a good cause) here: ”http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-politics-23884550”. Subsequent to the crisis and realising the refugees are becoming a European problem, he does an about turn and wants “stability in that part of the world” and to stop people fleeing their countries, see here "http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/2015/09/02/david-cameron-says-taking_n_8076646.html"

These so-called leaders of the free world, with all their power, imperialism and exceptionalism, could not foresee the current situation occurring back then when they were salivating to bomb every ME and North African country into extinction. At least they did get one thing right; the people DID find a country and a land with democracy, i.e. the closest European country that they could settle in!
