Refugee crisis- Moral crisis

US senators denounce Bush inaction for Iraqi refugees

Once the WMD argument evaporated under the heat lamp of absence of evidence, the justification for the war became increasingly that the US was doing Iraqis a great favor.

I don't think the millions of refugees feel helped or empowered by the US invasion.

Rather than spend another $100 billion (or more) on an additional (and irrelevant) 21,000 troops, perhaps that money should be spent in providing some real hope to refugees.

Perhaps then the US could win friends rather than simply try to kill enemies.
