I think its a but unfair to imply American actors caused the Syrian refugee crisis.

Americans took advantage of it, they didn't CAUSE IT.

Arabs are a really fucked up population, and they need to fight this shit out on their own. There are much larger macro-economic dynamics that cause whitey to interfere, mainly oil. Organs? Sideshow.

I respectfully disagree. Our meddling has caused a significant increase in the problems there. Yes, they had issues, but we drastically exacerbated it and provided a significant amount of weapons, money, and opportunity. It's not completely in Hilary's hands as it goes all the way back to when Clinton was president. However, have you seen the arms sales to the middle east since Obama's election? Do you realize how much money he has given them? Before they were rag tag, now they're a considerable menace.

It actually goes back to when the US deposed the Shah of Iran...see how that worked out?

The premise of the thread was "Remind me, who was it that caused the Syrian refugee crisis?"

All your suppositions do not equal a cause, they are just facilitators and contributing factors. The cause was something altogether different.

America is directly the cause alongside Qatar, UAE and Saudi, Turkey and of course, Israel. This is about a pipeline through Syria and putting in a puppet regime that would be controlled to relinquish any monetary gain. Qatar was arming the Syrian rebels directly from guess who? There was never a civil war, this was an attempted coup and it is failing because Russia stepped in.
