Why the hell not? Because they don’t want to go away, and we don’t have the power to make them go away. Because the effort to make something go away that refuses to go away has dragged two sets of people into a seemingly unstoppable cycle of atrocities. That attitude is half the reason for the mess that exists now. the Hindu and Muslim refugees of the partition of India went away too, didn't they? Sure, and they’ve been fighting ever since. Next time the fight flares up it might very well be with nukes. Wonderful example of the consequences of forced population transfers. don't give me this crock about how the refugees have "caused" this conflict. They are a proxy force for what the Arabs couldn't accomplish directly. Strange how the conflict started before the states for which it is allegedly a proxy existed.
