The lack of a coherent response, not just by Britain but by the wider international community, has allowed the situation in Syria to fester into the greatest humanitarian crisis of our lifetime. … We can and should do much more to help." in the context of "Jo Cox: Syria is not Iraq – we must take action now (10 September 2015)" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
