Um, pardon me for the intrusion, but people are being a bit hindered from leaving Syria by air right now. Especially refugees. It's not like some guy decides he and his family don't want to be gassed and bombed any more and they buy a Lufthansa ticket and then fly to Frankfurt where they arrive safe and sound, is it.
To your other staggeringly simplistic question. Assad is one half of the reason why these walls are being built in the first place, yes. The other half being the armed rebels.
As for the journalists who you assert are on someone's "side", those were mentioned as in "some allusions are being made to other such nice facilities like the infamous Berlin Wall". You know, context. Nevertheless, you may feel free to refer your objection to said journalists if you like. Look, there's even a link leading to those who've made said allusions. The parallel the OP was making is that these walls usually bring results that those who build them may've not anticipated. But something tells me you already knew all that, and I'm just wasting time. Please assure me that I'm wrong.
Now, would you like to discuss the refugee crisis for a change, or not?
