...the decent thing to do.

Heard a news report today about 100,000 Iraqis in fear of their lives. Because they've worked for the American occupiers of their country. So some of their compatriots consider them traitors, of sorts. Many have asked the Americans for protection. But so many are told to tough it out. And put their lives at great risk. America so far has allowed about 5,000 Iraqis to immigrate to the U.S. But I marvel at the fact that Sweden -- a much smaller country that has not participated in this obscene and senseless war -- has accepted 40,000 Iraqis. That's wonderful and decent of the Swedes. Too bad that the U.S. doesn't match that effort. It would be the decent thing to do for a nation that started the war in the first place. --Jim Broede
