I read somewhere that there was supposed to be more of you on The Newsroom - particularly the bin Laden episode. True? What happened? Are you gonna be on it in Season 2?

Eichmann in Jerusalem, which makes it an interesting phrase to use here.

Yes, and while that's a little less generous and more complicated than it sounds, it's a good thing.
It also means it would be 2017 or 2018 before Germany equaled the total in Jordan or Lebanon. (Probably sooner, because some of those coming to Germany are/will be coming from Jordan and Lebanon, but you get my meaning.)
That's the thing I was responding to - the idea that Syrians are going to Europe, but not other Middle Eastern countries. It's totally backwards.

Are you guys for real? There are about 200,000 Syrian refugees in Germany, which is the Western country with the most by far. Compare that to more than a million in each of Lebanon and Jordan, two countries much less equipped to handle this than Western countries. Both Iraq and Saudi Arabia also have more than Germany. Egypt and Kuwait have more than 100,000 each. Which is to say nothing of the more than two million in Turkey. This crisis didn't start in 2015.
