I hope the rest of the 'coalition of the willing' are going to follow suit and try and create some normalcy in these people's lives.

Whilst I agree that the governments who caused their displacement should be responsible for sorting it out, I doubt that moving them halfway across the world to places with entirely different cultures and where they are in the minority religion, race and language-wise is going to create any "normalcy".
