Sorrows: I feel really bad for Aleppo, this is the large city that is at the heart of the civil conflict in Syria. It is a hot political topic that has been prominent because of differing views on how we should handle it. Thousands have died and even more fled from the city as it has been bombed by the Syrian government and the Russians alike. It is a tragic situation that has led to the displacement or death of hundreds of thousands of Syrians. Many of the Syrians flea to either Europe or the United States looking for refuge and a new life. These refugees almost all have tragic backstories but are often met with harsh words and hate when they arrive in the U.S. because many feel like these refugees are leeching off of hard working Americans and taking American jobs.
