A letter from ex-officials, including Robert Ford, urges the White House to announce support for a refugee admissions goal of 100,000 Syrian refugees.

Syria is a huge human tragedy and is probably the biggest human tragedy of the 21st century so far.

Former British Foreign Secretary David Miliband and former U.S. Ambassador to Syria Robert Ford talked about humanitarian efforts in Syria.?

On “Charlie Rose,” a conversation about the ongoing conflict in Syria and Iraq.

Refugees are an American success story. Now is not the time to abandon them.

The refugees I have met across the region, fleeing as they are terror and violence, are innocent civilians. And entering the U.S. as a refugee is by far the most difficult and complex of all routes in; refugees are the single most vetted population entering the country.

Miliband explains why he thinks the crisis isn't a blip but a long-term trend — and why America must play a bigger role in helping to resettle the world's refugees.

There are very many generous, civic-minded Americans who stand ready to welcome thousands more Syrian refugees to this country. So, too, should the United States government.
