This is a biased political piece and should probably be locked by moderation.

It is also needlessly inflamatory; the USA is far from the only actor in the world; it even has a secondary influence at best in places like Syria and Ukraine where a ton of refugees have come from.

The response to potentially heavy, controversial topics should not be avoiding the discussion, nay, not even avoiding, but forbidding it. Surely we're all adults and we can engage with the arguments presented, and in the process learn something. And if the discussion becomes heated, then it becomes heated.
