Impressive #s: More than 50 Nations and More than a Million Refugees

   Two numbers jump out at me from the day's news.
   (1.) More than 50 nations are allied in the fight against the Islamic State. I wonder if that large of a coalition has been seen since the days of World War II. (Only a handful are involved in the fighting, I believe, so how are the rest involved?)
   (2.) Well over a million refugees from the war in Syria have been take in by Turkey during the 3 1/2-year-old conflict. Of them about 150,000 have been taken in during the past week or so. That is a lot of people fleeing the ravages of war.
