The American war has led Iraq to be a “Nation of Refugees.” With the no-future plans policy, the Bush administration has cost Iraq the terrible death of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis and the displacement of the millions.
For the five years since its invasion of Iraq, the U.S. has not yet stood up to its moral duty of rescuing Iraq from the swamp they dragged it into. And yet, we hear voices of American officials calling on the return of the Iraqi refugees “to go home.”
Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-Calif.) argued that with the military troop buildup having bolstered security in Iraq, "I don't think it's the time that we should be accelerating our refugee efforts. . . . Now is the time that we should be calling on the refugees from Iraq to go home."
What a nerve! People whose lives are in danger and are displaced from their homes and have lost loved ones because of the U.S. should go home now. Indeed, typical. It's because of such officials Iraq has fallen down to this level. Alas!
