But with the exception of the Siuns of the world, I doubt many of our fellow countrymen & women even know there is a problem. The quota on Iraq refugees has to be lifted and the U.S. has to take the lead and the responsibility that it was shamefully late in taking during/and after the Vietnam war. And we Americans need to forget our biases (& make sure everyone knows there will be consequences for hate-crimes), and open up our towns, our hearts and most importantly our social services, libraries, schools etc. etc. to the victims of this war that we failed to stop.</p> I am almost sick of talking of the refugee problem as if there is no hope.

I bet none of it went to Iraq. More like some Christianist organization they have already funneled millions of our tax dollars to.</p> I would really like to know just exactly where all of that “charity” money the butcher brothers indicated they gave on their tax returns went.

George W. Bush on sacrifice:

“I’ve been to war. I’ve raised twins. If I had a choice, I’d rather go to war.” Houston Chronicle, January 2002

Dirty, rotten, lying, scum-sucking, yellow-bellied imitation of a life form.

YOU.WILL.ADORE.ME!!!!

Between this, Wolfowitz starving Africans so his girlfriend can get the new pumps she wants sooo badly, and our fuhrer’s quote above has me in tears.
