What a misguided article. European refugees during World Wars were resettling within Europe, they were fleeing from one region to another, NONE fled to Middle East, subsaharan Africa or Asia. Not a single one. They would not have been accepted anyway. Those who fled outside Europe went to US, Canada or Australia. And if there´s emergency in these countries, Im pretty sure Europe will readily accept american, canadian or australian refugees, to give back what it owes. Europe doesnt owe anything to Asians, Arabs or subsaharan Africans in this regard.



Of course, Javier Solana is free to take home as many refugees as he likes, if he believes this is the right approach. Hopefully he has a big enough house, because there are hundreds of millions "desperate refugees" ready to invade Europe.
