Are Syrian and Iraqi refugees similar?

Attacking Syria is not the same as invading Iraq, we are told. And of course, that's right. First, there's no doubt this time about the presence of chemical weapons. We're not

But these differences - which loom so large in the minds of Washington's political elites - seem entirely secondary to most of the rest of the world, even most of the people of the United States, following more than a decade of war, post-9/11. There are two things that attacking Syria and invading Iraq have in common, which US elites utterly ignore. First is the sheer frequency with which the US attacks other countries. Second is the casual disregard for dire and deadly negative consequences, so long as US elites convince themselves their motives are pure.

I want to list below 4 Syrians refugees facts:

1.One in six Syrians has been displaced from their homes.

2. Over 50% of the displaced persons are under 18, and are women and children.
3. There is a significant “Giving Gap” between the amounts given in assistance and the amounts pledged, often reported between 10%-30%.
4. Refugees are displaced within Syria and to the surrounding countries of Jordan, Lebanon, Turkey, and Iraq.
