SIR – Once again I ask why politicians don’t tackle the real problems?

They think that the way to solve the problem of refugees from Syria is to help the refugees.

Surely the problem is the regime in Syria who are creating the refugees in the first place?

Even the United Nations who have every nation in the world behind them don’t know how to approach the problem.

Politicians are creating similar problems in other countries around the world, but world leaders do nothing. It begs the question. If politicians only create problems, but never cure problems, why have politicians?
