Northern iraq, these syrians find refuge in a park. Egypt, where more and more syrians seek safety or a route to europe. More than two million refugees, syria is hemorrhaging women, children, and men. Inside syria, over six million displaced. More than half the human flood leaving syria are children. One million children, 70 under the age of 12. Children like this one, only two days old when her family fled to iraq. Or this 4yearold, her face scarred from a life saved.

Improvement in 2013 in relations between china and south korea, i think really has taken a lot of broader risk out of the north korea crisis. The north korea crisis would clearly be a big challenge for south korea, but i think the fear always was that the Korean Peninsula could really be a focal point for a broader International Crisis. And i think thats really gone way, way down. Jack wilson. Hi, jack goldstone, George Mason University and brookings.
