I totally agree, but believing that they are doing this on their own terms is amazingly naive. They are in a foreign, often hostile country, and they are being welcomed with open arms. They are offered free housing, and their visas are expidited. It's silly to think that the current regime's actions in this matter are altruistic.
Yes, you're totally right. They've acted on their beliefs in a strong way and a lot of folks don't have the balls to do the same. I just think they could have done more productive things with the time and money they spent doing this. They've probably done more damage to their position because of their perceived chickening out.
Silly people. Human shields are for hostages.... (yes, I know. I'm going to hell)
