I don't quite understand what an open air festival and empty barracks should have in common, but both are certainly preferable to life in Syria's warzones. My point is that there is plenty of accomodation, if we really want. Aren't you perhaps exaggerating the pessimism stuff a bit?

During the last days, when I read one pessimistic post after the other from you, I started to wonder, what sort of a response you would wish? How would you wish people to respond to the inflow of refugees, and what role for the left would you wish in this response?
