IRAN- Over 622,000 Syrian refugees languish in squalid conditions just across the border from the homeland in Jordan.


Conference on Iran: Making the case for a different path for Iran citizens
By Ken Blackwell
Over 622,000 Syrian refugees languish in squalid conditions just across the border from the homeland in Jordan.  They have almost nothing, they lack the most basic of possessions, they have no opportunity to work, and their futures have been robbed of them.  What they do have is time – time to think about what drove their country into madness.
While Syrian refugees are stuck, Iranian troops are on the move, 15,000 more to Syria to join the fighting against IS.  After IS’s well-publicized destruction of artifacts, torture, and mass executions, some might even be rooting for Iran and its proxy, the Assad regime.  But how can we root for a regime that tortured and killed indiscriminately and whose policies directly fueled the rise of IS?
